Japanese Princess Mako will marry her fiance, a former college classmate, on October 26, authorities said on Friday, after years of intense scrutiny and criticism that cast her engagement in an unflattering light.

The 29-year-old niece of Emperor Naruhito became engaged to Kei Komuro, 29, in 2017.

But tabloid reports soon emerged about a financial dispute between Komuro’s mother and her former fiance, and early in 2018 the marriage was postponed. In August that year Komuro departed to attend law school in the US, and didn’t return until Monday.

The Imperial Household Agency, which runs the lives of the royal family, made the announcement of the wedding date at a news conference.

Mako will leave the royal family upon her marriage, as is customary. None of the ceremonies that usually accompany a royal marriage will take place, and she will forgo a one-off payment of $1 million.
