Is Princess Mako the next Princess Diana? They’re both fashion icons with a love of the arts – and the now Mrs Mako Komuro is even philanthropic like Britain’s late royal sweetheart
- Japan’s former Princess Mako renounced her title to marry Kei Komuro and move to New York – so how is her story similar to the late ‘People’s Princess’ of Wales?
- Besides their street style, the princesses share a love of the arts – Diana studied jazz, ballet and tap and Mako is a visual arts guru interning at the Met in the Big Apple
Princess Mako isn’t your typical royal – much like Princess Diana, although their lives are somewhat different, of course.
Her idolisation harks back to the days of Princess Diana who, although her time was before this age of technology, holds a high internet status to this day.
So just how similar are they?
Street style
Princess Diana was widely known as a trendsetter in fashion, particularly in streetwear. She was often seen sporting an oversized crew neck and biker shorts, which quickly became an iconic outfit of hers – and the look is still mimicked to this day. This princess clearly knew how to keep up with and set fashion movements, and we can see the same in Princess Mako today.
Although Princess Mako’s fashion sense is slightly different to that of Diana’s, she is also often seen wearing slightly oversized clothing – whether it’s her outerwear, maxi skirts or loose-fitting jeans, which are trending in the fashion world today.
