2020“御用”辞职指南
2019年,脱欧闹得轰轰烈烈。英国与欧盟近乎一对“怨偶”,合不来又难舍难分,全世界都期待着在新的一年里能等来一个结果。
然而,2020刚过了一周,英国尚未能从欧盟彻底“离职”,英国的王子却宣布要从王室“辞职”了?
当地时间8日晚间,英国哈里王子和梅根王妃宣布,他们将放弃英国“高级”王室成员身份,未来将在英国和北美两地之间分配自己的时间。
在一份发布在社交平台的声明中,哈里和梅根表示,“经过了数月的反思和讨论”,他们决定不再担任英国王室重要成员的角色。“他们计划在王室家族中发挥一份新的进步的作用。”两人还表示,他们打算“努力实现财务独立”。

British royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have surprised both Buckingham Palace and the public by announcing that they are to step back from their roles as part of the UK royal family.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday evening, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said, "We intend to step back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent."
Harry and Meghan's statement added that "after many months of reflection," they were "starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution (the British royal family)."
岁末年初,往往是跳槽离职的高峰,但连王子都要辞工,可见近年“职场流动性”确实大
下面就让小编带你一起看一看也学一学,王室是怎么辞职的~
这次“辞去公职”的消息,哈里和梅根选择首先用图片加长文章的形式公布在Instagram账号上,而不是通过专门负责王室成员消息报道的王室轮值体系(Royal Rota)。在这份公告中,公爵夫妇详细说明了自己的决定和未来的打算。
就在哈里梅根夫妇在Instagram上发帖的几个小时后,白金汉宫发布声明称,情况“很复杂”。
Buckingham Palace issued an official response on Wednesday, saying that: "Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."
王子的“辞职”声明语惊四座。
BBC报道中表示,在公布决定之前,哈里与梅根夫妇并未知会任何王室成员。据称,王室成员对这个决定感到震惊与失望。
The BBC has reported that "no other royal – including the Queen or Prince William – was consulted before the statement" and quoted a Buckingham Palace spokesperson saying that the royal family was "disappointed."
其实,苏塞克斯公爵和公爵夫人对王室身份的剥离,早见端倪。
在2019年6月的一次慈善活动上,哈里和梅根宣布,他们将不再参与威廉王子的“王室基金会”。
去年7月,哈里与梅根一反王室传统,拒绝公开儿子阿奇的受洗仪式。
刚过去的圣诞,哈里与梅根没有与女王和其他王室成员团聚,而是带着孩子飞到了加拿大与梅根的母亲一起过节。

长久以来,哈里和梅根都一直试图在个人生活与王室责任间寻求平衡。这次的“辞职”,震动了英国最不可动摇的王室制度,也表明了夫妇俩开启家庭生活新阶段的决心。
在社交媒体的帖子中,哈里梅根夫妇公布了一部分未来计划,包括往来英国和北美两地居住和创立新的慈善机构。
"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."
为了解决公众对于王子王妃辞职产生的疑问,哈里与梅根夫妇在自己的官方网站上专门开辟了一个页面,用以回答民众的关心和问题。
页面上详细地写明了公爵夫妇的花销与税款的关系:

等等。
即使决定放弃英国“高级”王室成员身份,哈里与梅根还是在“辞职信”中写明了今后会继续配合王室成员的工作,并感谢家人长久以来的支持。
"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."
辞职毕竟也不是小事,何况是王子“辞职”。
消息放出后,网友们自创的词条#Megxit 在推特上刷了屏。
有人支持:
“下图是我会讲给孩子听的故事,梅根是个英雄”
有人质疑:
“所以,让我们讲清楚,他们保留了头衔、房产、大量的财产和补贴,但不肯努力工作并为自己的角色献身吗?”
也有人看热闹:
“有件事是一定的,在五年内,这件事将会成为电视剧《王冠》的‘名场面’。”
