一波未平......

英國哈里王子和妻子梅根即將淡出皇室,攜同兒子阿奇到加拿大展開新生活。在被英女王禁止以「Sussex Royal」的商標牟利後,他們雖然接受決定,但卻發聲明暗諷「皇室」一詞並非女王專屬。

“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

據報道,哈里和梅根日前宣佈,他們將於3月31日卸任皇室高級成員身份時,停止使用任何「Sussex Royal 」品牌。不過,二人隨後卻疑似在其網站暗指英女王沒有「皇室」一詞的擁有權,「君主制或內閣府在海外沒『皇室』一詞的管轄權,但薩塞克斯公爵伉儷並不打算在任何領土上,使用『薩塞克斯皇家』或『皇家』一詞的任何替代(無論在英國還是其他國家),過渡時間是2020年春季。」

該聲明亦提及其他皇室成員,包括威廉王子夫,隱隱透露他們遭到不公平的對待,「雖然有其他皇室成員在外謀職的先例,但薩塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人卻要經過12個月的審查期才能通過。」

白金漢宮發言人拒絕評論二人的聲明,但強調自二人宣佈離職以來已經作出多次回應,並再次強調英女王對二人的選擇感到悲傷,但仍表示支持的舉動。

哈里和梅根早已為「Sussex Royal」註冊了過百項商品的商標,包括衣服、文具、書籍,教材及社區服務等,並以此成立了基金會,二人的IG及網站亦以此為名,日後需改名。據哈里和梅根的發言人稱,他們將回到英國履行至少六次公務,並於3月31日正式卸下皇室高級成員身份。
