Takatsuki Kanako (CV of Love Live! Sunshine!!'s Kunikida Hanamaru) got married in December last year. At the time it was only announced that she was married to someone outside of the media industry, however rumor started circulating that she married an "Indian Royalty" (not true, he's an Indian National but not royalty), and there were some insensitive posts on SNS towards her husband.

She went on Youtube on Sep 20 and talked about what happened, and her management agency followed up with an announcement about the matter and a warning against these defamation and privacy violations.

Am I missing context? Whats so bad about calling someones spouse royalty? Is it somehow meant as an insult to be called royalty?

I think it has to do with Japan's immigration issue lately. I could be wrong though.

There are anti foreigner sentiments in every country, for Japan the right wing Sanseitou party made the news by winning a few seats running on “Japan First” in the last election.

I have not checked out the SNS comments, but I think they are separate issues: the insensitive comments were probably about the husband’s race or nationality, not about his royalty status. There was also the privacy problem of some people posting photo of the husband, who is not a public figure, online.
