萨塞克斯公爵夫人多年来在英国本土未举办过此类活动日。作者：Daniela Relph 今天感觉非常熟悉。
The Duchess of Sussex has not done anything like the day of events in Nottingham for several years on British soil. By Daniela Relph There was something so very familiar about today.
2017年，萨塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人首次共同访问诺丁汉时，他们还是普通的哈里王子和梅根·马克尔。他们刚刚宣布订婚，正是在英格兰中部地区，这位美国女演员被正式推介为英国王室工作成员。今天可以看作是梅根的英国重新亮相。
The first time the Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited Nottingham together in 2017 they were plain old Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They'd just announced they were getting married and it was in the East Midlands that an American actress would be hard launched as a working member of the Royal Family. You could view today as the UK-relaunch of Meghan.
她多年来在英国本土未举办过此类活动日。她身边的人告诉我，她并不担心人们会如何反应，她想走出去。这绝对不是一次王室活动。但问题是，从很多方面来看，它感觉就像一次。每个活动都有安排好的编排。哈里和梅根参观了慈善机构，会见了志愿者。有一个共享媒体池，共同合作分发最佳视频和图片。有人群和群众见面会。
She'd not done anything like the day of events in Nottingham for several years on British soil. Those close to her told me she wasn't nervous about how people would react to her and she wanted to get out there. This was definitely not a royal engagement. But the thing is, it felt like one in so many ways. There was planned choreography for each event. Harry and Meghan visited charities and met volunteers. There was a shared media pool working together to distribute the best video and images. There were crowds and walkabouts.
白金汉宫已明确表示，他们视萨塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人为私人公民。他们做什么都是他们自己的事——但肯定不会附带王室地位。今天没有盛大的仪式。没有要人排队。没有明显的警察存在。这仍然是对哈里和梅根所能提供的东西的提醒。
Buckingham Palace has made it very clear that they view the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as private citizens. Whatever they do is their own business - but it certainly won't have royal status attached. There was no pomp and ceremony today. No line up of dignitaries. No obvious police presence. It was still a reminder of what Harry and Meghan have to offer.
出来见他们的大部分人群是年轻且多元化的——我看到的绝大多数人都在30岁以下。
Much of the crowd that came out to see them was young and diverse - the vast majority of people I saw were under 30.
每个活动的气氛都很非正式，强调积极参与。他们烤了纸杯蛋糕，制作了西非食物，打了台球，还尝试了打篮球。
The mood at each event was informal with a strong emphasis on getting stuck in. They baked cupcakes, made West African food, played pool and had a go at basketball.
近距离观察哈里和梅根，让人想起他们在这类慈善活动上的从容。这发挥了他们的优势，而梅根带来了那种美国式的自信气质。
Watching both Harry and Meghan up close is a reminder of their ease at these kind of charity events. It plays to their strengths and Meghan brings that air of American self confidence.
他们的回归让王室感到不安，查尔斯三世国王在八月新闻爆出前仅提前几天得知，苏塞克斯公爵夫妇将带着孩子阿奇和莉莉贝特回到英国。
Their return has unsettled the Royal Family with King Charles III just getting a few days notice ahead of the news breaking in August that the Sussexes were coming back to the UK with their children Archie and Lilibet.
当他的儿子和儿媳在诺丁汉时，国王正在卡迪夫出席西塞德的仪式性开幕，坚定地履行王室职责，发表了一篇充满社区、品格与身份认同引用的演讲，其核心信息是忍耐的力量。而哈里和梅根故事的复杂性，要求各方都付出忍耐。
While his son and daughter-in-law were in Nottingham, the King was at the ceremonial opening of the Senedd in Cardiff, firmly on royal duty, delivering a speech rich in references to community, to character and identity with an overriding message of the power of endurance. And the complexity of the Harry and Meghan story is requiring endurance on all sides.
我收到大量信息和电子邮件，询问我为什么BBC要报道哈里和梅根，既然他们不是王室的工作成员。
I get lots of messages and emails asking me why the BBC covers Harry and Meghan if they are not working members of the royal family.
答案是，因为他们为近来王室最动荡的时期之一做出了贡献，而我们的受众无论喜爱还是厌恶苏塞克斯公爵夫妇，都对此感兴趣。
The answer is because they have contributed to one of the most turbulent periods in the Royal Family in recent times and our audiences are interested whether they love or loathe the Sussexes.
在个人层面上，他们提醒我们所有人，家庭破裂是多么痛苦，以及它会给家庭生活造成多深的伤害，而指责与怨恨难以化解——尤其是当其中大部分在公众面前上演时。
And on a personal level, they remind us all how painful family breakdown can be and the deep damage it can cause to family life with the blame and bitterness hard to resolve - even more so when much of it is being played out in public.
我们将继续报道所有高级王室成员的工作。本月晚些时候，国王将前往加勒比海进行一次重要访问，而威尔士亲王将于下个月携其“地球奖”环保奖项前往印度。这两次行程都将提供关于父子两人优先事项的见解。我们在诺丁汉看到的哈里和梅根联合活动不会成为常态，但会偶尔发生。苏塞克斯公爵夫妇的代表强调，两人各自有独立的兴趣需要专注，梅根计划在英国推出其生活方式品牌“永恒”（As Ever），可能在圣诞节前。
We will continue to report on the work of all senior royals. Later this month, the King goes on an important trip to the Caribbean and the Prince of Wales will be in India next month with his Earthshot environmental prize. Both trips will provide insights into the priorities of father and son The joint Harry and Meghan event we saw in Nottingham won't be a regular occurrence but will happen occasionally. The Sussex's representatives have stressed that they both have their own separate interests to focus on with plans for Meghan to launch a UK version of her lifestyle brand As Ever - possibly before Christmas.
说到圣诞节——不要指望看到哈里和梅根与王室其他成员一起在桑德灵厄姆。他们将改与梅根的母亲多莉亚·拉格兰德共度时光，可能就在这里在英国。家庭关系复杂。哈里和梅根的回归清楚地提醒了我们这一点。
And talking of Christmas - don't expect to see Harry and Meghan in Sandringham with the rest of the Royal Family. They will instead spend that time with Meghan's mother, Doria Ragland, possibly here in the UK. Families are complicated. The return of Harry and Meghan is a clear reminder of that.
