Unlike "certain royal families" under the current Japanese Imperial Family Law, Princesses Mako and Kako will cease to be royal once they marry and will no longer represent anyone but themselves. They will be entirely private citizens. It's a good thing that they are being allowed to find jobs they enjoy outside of the palace.I love the Japanese royaks and how they raise their kids. they find a great balance between private lives and duties for the non heirs.
