Japan’s Princess Surrenders Royal Title to Follow Her Heart Into Marriage With Normal Non-Royal Guy

Who needs the title of "princess" when you have love? Not Japan's Princess Ayako, who forfeited her royal title and status on Monday after walking down the aisle to wed her fiancé Kei Moriya, a non-royal with a career in the shipping industry.

Ayako is the third daughter of the late Prince Takamado, who was a first cousin of Emperor Akihito.
