Princess Ayako of the Japanese imperial family has given up her royal title after marrying a commoner Kei Moriya.

The 28-year-old princess, according to The Independent, married 32-year-old Moriya, an employee of shipping company Nippon Yusen.

Although Japanese royals have been given the freedom to marry anyone for the past 3 generations, women in the imperial family give up their status when they marry commoners, while commoners who marry princes become a part of the imperial family.

Princess Ayako, who will become Ayako Moriya after the wedding papers are signed, married in a traditional ceremony at Tokyo’s Meiji Shrine.

“I’m filled with joy to get married and to have so many people visit us at the Meiji Shrine and congratulate us,” she said after the ceremony.

Samatha Markle, half-sister of the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, has publicly apologized to Meghan Markle after insulting her publicly for months.

Samantha, who had blamed Meghan for the death of their father (who is still alive), apologized during an appearance on “Jeremy Vine On 5.”

She wishes things could be different, she said, and things wouldn’t have played out the way they did had the family been involved in the wedding.

“So I thought in the beginning when we spoke publicly, I thought we were being open-hearted and even favorable and that fell on deaf ears and the media turned it into something it’s not,” she said.

“I was hoping maybe we would have the chance to speak—that she would know I was here. But I don’t think that’s going to happen.” If she were to get the chance to speak to the Duchess of Sussex, Samantha said she would tell her half-sibling it’s “water under the bridge” and recognize their issues spiraled “out of control.”

“I think everybody was hurt at not being included or invited to the wedding,” she said. “But I felt as though it could have all been nipped in the bud had everyone been included and we all agreed to move forward with positive resolve, and the hurt feelings wouldn’t have snowballed.” Addressing her sister directly, she said, “Believe it or not, it doesn’t mean we love you any less.”

Chrissy Teigen has reacted to the recent comments made by Thomas Markle father to Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle.
In an interview with The Mail On Sunday, Thomas had a lot to say about his daughter, disclosing that she has now cut him out of her life.

According to the Daily Mail the 74 year old said:

‘I’m really hurt that she’s cut me off completely. I used to have a phone number and text number for her personal aides at the Palace, but after I said a few critical words about the Royal Family changing Meghan, they cut me off.’

‘The men in my family rarely live over 80 so I’d be surprised if I had another ten years. I could die tomorrow.’

‘I refuse to stay quiet. What riles me is Meghan’s sense of superiority. She’d be nothing without me. I made her the Duchess she is today. Everything that Meghan is, I made her.

‘Teigen is however having none of that, the mom who is known for speaking her mind tweeted a side by side image of the article with the caption:

“This guy … This guy sucks,” she wrote. “What is wrong with him? Let your daughter be happy, please. This is embarrassing.”
