According to the Daily Mail, UK:
Princess Mako's 'commoner' husband Kei Komuro has failed the bar exam for a second time - just as it was revealed that his wife has taken a job as an unpaid volunteer at the Met, months after quitting her royal life to move to the U.S. with him.
Komuro, 30, sat the New York State Bar exam for the second time in February, however when the results of that round were published online on Thursday, his name was not included among the successful candidates.
The news of his failure comes just days after it was reported that Mako, 30, who is the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito and niece of reigning Emperor Naruhito, had begun volunteering at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Japan Times reported that the former princess 'has specifically been involved in preparing an exhibition of paintings inspired by the life of a 13th-century monk who traveled throughout Japan as he introduced Buddhism.'
Mako, who is the eldest daughter of Crown Prince Fumihito and niece of reigning Emperor Naruhito, gave up her royal title to marry 'commoner' Komuro last October in a small civil ceremony.
