Why has wedding of Japan’s Princess Mako still not gone ahead?

Japan's imperial law requires a princess to leave the royal family after marrying a commoner.

The couple met while both students at Tokyo's International Christian University.

Princess Mako announced her intention to marry Mr Komuro in 2017. Shortly afterwards it was announced the pair would wed in November 2018.

The wedding was later postponed until 2020, with an official statement saying the couple needed more time to plan. However reports have since emerged suggesting Mr Komuro's family is involved in a financial dispute of which his in-laws disapprove.
