TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's Princess Mako is set to forego a one-off million-dollar payment for giving up her royal status to wed a college classmate, media said on Saturday, clearing the way for a marriage delayed for years by controversy over her fiance. The 29-year-old grand-daughter of then-Emperor Akihito and her former college classmate, Kei Komuro, announced their engagement in 2017. But the marriage was put off after reports of a financial dispute between Komuro's mother and her former fiance. He was shown sporting a ponytail, a detail that has caused an uproar among some Japanese users of Twitter. Under Japan's males-only royal succession law, female members of the imperial family lose their status on marrying commoners.
