• Mako has been under pressure since her 2017 engagement with Kei Komuro, whom she met in college.
• The two are now set to get married later in October.

Japan's Princess Mako - the 29-year-old niece of Emperor Naruhito who is set to marry a commoner - was recently diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder, Japan's public broadcaster NHK reported on Friday.

Mako has been under immense pressure since her 2017 engagement with Kei Komuro, whom she met in college, the New York Times reported on Friday.

The wedding is scheduled to take place on October 26, the report said, and will lack the traditional flair of a royal wedding. Instead, the couple will settle in New York where Komuro works in a law office.
