日前，哈里王子和梅根王妃突然在社交媒體上宣布，將退出王室職務(wù)并謀求經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立。夫妻倆在做出這一決定前并沒有通知女王和父兄，因此王室成員在得知這一突如其來的消息后都感到十分震驚和失望。

Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, say they are stepping back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family and plan to work towards becoming "financially independent," the couple announced on Wednesday.

哈里王子和梅根王妃（蘇塞克斯公爵夫人）1月8日宣布，將退出英國(guó)王室高級(jí)成員角色，并計(jì)劃實(shí)現(xiàn)“經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立”。

"After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year" they wrote on Instagram, explaining that they hope to "carve out a progressive new role within this institution."

兩人在Instagram上寫道：“經(jīng)過多個(gè)月的反思和內(nèi)部討論，我們選擇在今年完成過渡?！彼麄兘忉尩溃Ｍ霸谶@個(gè)體制內(nèi)開拓出一種進(jìn)步的新角色”。

"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," they said.

他們說：“我們打算退出王室‘高級(jí)’成員的角色，謀求經(jīng)濟(jì)獨(dú)立，與此同時(shí)，繼續(xù)全力支持女王?！?/p>

Harry and Meghan did not consult any other members of the royal family about their decision, CNN has learned.

CNN獲悉，哈里和梅根沒有征求其他任何王室成員的意見就做出了這一決定。

There is said to be a mood of deep disappointment in the palace following the announcement; senior members of the family are hurt as a result of the news.

據(jù)說消息宣布后王室上下感到非常失望，王室的高級(jí)成員們感覺很受傷。

In a statement issued just hours after the couple's Instagram post, Buckingham Palace said the situation was "complicated."

哈里梅根夫婦在Instagram上發(fā)帖僅僅幾個(gè)小時(shí)后，白金漢宮就發(fā)布聲明稱，情況“很復(fù)雜”。

"Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage," the unsigned Royal Communications statement said. "We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."

這份沒有署名的王室通信聲明稱：“我們還在和蘇塞克斯公爵及公爵夫人進(jìn)行初步討論。我們理解他們想另辟蹊徑的愿望，但這是需要花時(shí)間來解決的復(fù)雜問題?！?/p>

In their social media post, the couple revealed they plan to split their time between the UK and North America.

在社交媒體的帖子中，哈里梅根夫婦公布了他們打算在英國(guó)和北美兩地往來居住的計(jì)劃。

"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," they wrote.

他們寫道：“這種地理上的平衡可以讓我們的兒子學(xué)會(huì)欣賞王室家族的傳統(tǒng)，又能讓我們的家庭有開辟未來的空間，包括創(chuàng)建新的慈善機(jī)構(gòu)?！?/p>

"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."

“我們期待在適當(dāng)?shù)臅r(shí)候與大家分享激動(dòng)人心的下一步的全部細(xì)節(jié)，與此同時(shí)，我們也會(huì)同女王、威爾士親王、劍橋公爵和所有相關(guān)人員繼續(xù)合作。在那之前，請(qǐng)讓我們對(duì)你們的持續(xù)支持表達(dá)最深的感謝?！?/p>

The Duke and Duchess have long had a fraught relationship with sections of the British media. In October last year, the couple announced that Meghan was suing the Mail on Sunday newspaper, alleging it had illegally published a private letter to her father -- a claim the newspaper denies.

長(zhǎng)時(shí)間以來，蘇塞克斯公爵及公爵夫人一直和英國(guó)部分媒體關(guān)系緊張。去年十月，他們宣布梅根將起訴《周日郵報(bào)》，宣稱該報(bào)在非法刊登了一封她寫給父親的私人信件，而該報(bào)否認(rèn)了這一指控。

At the same time, Harry launched an emotional attack on the UK tabloid press for what he called a "ruthless campaign" against his wife.

與此同時(shí)，哈里王子對(duì)這家英國(guó)通俗報(bào)刊發(fā)起了情緒激烈的攻擊，斥責(zé)其對(duì)妻子的“無情報(bào)道”。

He likened their treatment of her to that faced by his mother. Princess Diana died in 1997 when her car crashed as it was being pursued by members of the paparazzi.

他將《周日郵報(bào)》對(duì)待梅根的方式與他母親當(dāng)年的遭遇相比較。戴安娜王妃1997年死于狗仔隊(duì)追逐導(dǎo)致的車禍。

The couple feel that they can win these court cases on the basis that they do have a right to a private life.

哈里梅根夫婦認(rèn)為他們可以贏得這些訴訟案件，依據(jù)是他們有權(quán)擁有私人生活。

Members of the royal family are often criticized for not allowing enough public access, given that they are publicly funded, and now the Duke and Duchess are effectively saying, "Okay, you win, we're out."

王室成員們經(jīng)常因?yàn)槠毓獠粔蚨艿脚u(píng)，理由是王室開銷是由民眾買單的。如今蘇塞克斯公爵夫婦就是在說：“好，你們贏了，我們退出”。

對(duì)于這個(gè)消息，推特上什么反應(yīng)都有，還有網(wǎng)友專門造了個(gè)詞Megxit（梅根退出）。

有些人很自然地將梅根作為攻擊目標(biāo)，說她堪比導(dǎo)致披頭士樂隊(duì)解散的小野洋子。

愛操心的網(wǎng)友甚至開始擔(dān)心二人未來的生計(jì)問題。

正在追英劇《王冠》的網(wǎng)友則表示，這下梅根可以去該劇本色出演自己了。
