Japan's former Princess Mako who gave up her royal title is now working as an unpaid intern at the Met

Japan's ex-princess Mako Komoru gave up her royal title to marry a commoner and her college sweetheart, Kei Kumoro, last year in October. She then moved to New York City, where she currently lives in an apartment in Hell's Kitchen. Reportedly, the former princess is now a volunteer at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

According to the Japan Times, Mako has landed herself an unpaid role at the museum where she is working as a curator for the museum. Reports suggest she will be assisting an exhibition of hanging scrolls inspired by Ippen, a 13th-century Buddhist monk.
