影/哈利梅根退居幕后! 突袭声明「卸下资深皇室成员身分」
哈利王子和夫人梅根8日发布声明,表示不会再以「资深皇室成员」的身分出现在大众面前,而是退居幕后,并透过工作获得经济独立。据了解,两人的决定并未先和其他皇室成员讨论过,甚至女王伊莉莎白二世事先也不知情,现在白金汉宫内部弥漫震惊和失望。
「BBC报导」,哈利王子和梅根在声明中指出,两人卸下资深皇室成员的身分后,会在英国和北美两头跑,「我们试着要从皇室家族中退居幕后,然后透过工作成为经济独立的家庭,同时续会全力支持女王陛下。」两人也会继续行使对女王、英联邦和我们的职责。

声明中写道,来往英美两地的决定,「会让我们能够好好扶养我们的儿子长大,同时让他了解他出身的皇室传统,也能带给我们家更多的空间,专注进入到人生的下一篇章,包括成立新的慈善机构。」除了正式公开声明外,哈利和梅根分别都在自己的Instagram帐号上附上声明,意味着心意已决,然而此举必然会引起英国皇室内不小的风波。
据了解,皇室内部事先并不知情,而且对于两人的擅自决定感到「强烈失望」,BBC皇室特派记者迪蒙(Jonny Dymond)认为,这反映出白金汉宫内部的真实情况,但会造成如此影响,很可能并非哈利和梅根到底做了什么决定,而是他们怎么处理这个决定,因为他们没有事先和其他人讨论过,甚至即将迈入94岁的高龄女王伊莉莎白二世也不知道。
迪蒙表示,这项决定「铁定会造成重大裂痕,哈利和梅根在一边,其余的所有皇室成员在一边。」
白金汉宫发言人对此回应,目前内部针对两人声明的讨论还在「初步阶段」,尚未研拟出回应,「我们了解他们想要走向不同的路,但这是一个复杂的问题,需要时间去解决。」
2019年5月,哈利和梅根诞下儿子亚契(Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor),并在同年耶诞节时向皇室请假,表示想要3人小家庭的时光。今年初,澳洲杂志「New Idea」在封面以斗大标题爆料,两人实际上已经分开83天,但内文写下其实是在两人和皇室告假的6周间,只有非常少的相处时间,实际上「83天」和「分开」的定义及结论为何,尚不清楚,过程未被揭露。
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution. We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen. It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United Kingdom and North America, continuing to honour our duty to The Queen, the Commonwealth, and our patronages. This geographic balance will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity. We look forward to sharing the full details of this exciting next step in due course, as we continue to collaborate with Her Majesty The Queen, The Prince of Wales, The Duke of Cambridge and all relevant parties. Until then, please accept our deepest thanks for your continued support.” - The Duke and Duchess of Sussex For more information, please visit sussexroyal.com (link in bio) Image © PA
