伦敦 — 根据媒体报道,英国哈里王子及其妻子梅根将于10月15日进行自今年8月返回英国定居以来的首次联合公开活动。
LONDON – Britain’s Prince Harry and his wife Meghan will on Oct 15 carry out their first joint engagement since returning to live in the UK in August, according to media reports.
查尔斯三世国王42岁的幼子哈里王子和梅根将当天前往英格兰中部城市诺丁汉访问 — — 该城正是他们在2017年宣布订婚后首次共同亮相的地方,据《星期日泰晤士报》报道。
King Charles III’s 42-year-old younger son and Meghan will on that day visit Nottingham in central England, the city where they made their first joint appearance after announcing their engagement in 2017, the Sunday Times reported.
此次访问表明了这对夫妇“希望被视为公众人物”的决心,报道称。
The visit signalled the couple’s “determination to be viewed as public figures”, the report said.
这一决心与9月份国王的一封信形成鲜明对比,信中国王明确表示他们的地位“类似于私人公民”而非公众人物,且不应被称呼为‘殿下’。
That resolve is at odds with a letter in September in which the king made it clear that their position was “akin to private citizens” rather than public figures and that they should not be addressed as his and her royal highness.
报道称,他们预计将访问三个通过音乐、电影、体育和解决食物贫困问题支持青年和地方社区的慈善机构项目。
They are expected to visit projects at three charities that support young people and local communities through music, film, sport and tackling food poverty, the report said.
夫妇二人于2020年因王室内部激烈 feud(纠纷)离开英国并退出王室职责。

尽管他们此后与查尔斯国王修复了关系,但哈里仍与其哥哥、王位继承人威廉王子保持疏离。
Although they have since built bridges with Charles, they remain estranged from Harry’s older brother and heir to the crown Prince William.
夫妇此前曾定居加利福尼亚,但今年8月,哈里和梅根(现年45岁)在带着两个年幼的孩子 — — 七岁的阿奇和五岁的利莉贝特 — — 后,惊喜地返回英国定居。
The couple had settled in California, but in a surprise move Harry and Meghan, 45, returned to live in the United Kingdom with their two young children, Archie, seven, and Lilibet, five, in August.
报道补充称,他们计划在圣诞节期间返回美国,并引用一位朋友的话说:‘他们知道不会被邀请参加王室的聚会,也没有在等待邀请’。
The report added that they would return to the United States for Christmas, quoting a friend as saying “they know they’re not going to be invited (to the royal family’s get-together) and they’re not waiting for an invitation”.
王室传统上在圣诞节期间聚集在位于英格兰东部的国王桑德林汉姆庄园。
The royal family traditionally gathers at the king’s Sandringham estate in eastern England at Christmas.
