TOKYO (Reuters) -Japan's crown prince criticised the media on Tuesday for falsities and "terrible things" in its coverage of the engagement of his daughter, former princess Mako, who relinquished her royal status to marry a non-royal last month.

Mako, 30, postponed her marriage to Kei Komuro https://www.reuters.com/world/asia-pacific/overcoming-scandal-ptsd-japans-princess-mako-finally-marries-college-sweetheart-2021-10-26, 30, for roughly three years over opposition stemming from a scandal involving his mother.
