TOKYO—Japan’s former princess Mako departed the country with her husband on Sunday before landing in New York City to start a new life in the United States.
Known as Mako Komuro after giving up her royal title to marry college sweetheart Kei Komuro last month, the former royal and her husband, both 30, walked past waiting journalists at Tokyo’s Haneda International Airport before boarding an ANA flight. Well-wishers waved from the terminal as it left the gate.
