日前,新型冠状病毒肺炎疫情在全球多地迅速传播,英国的情况也不容乐观。
一些超市出现了物资抢购的现象,而当地人也开始戴起了口罩。
英国首相鲍里斯更是亲自下场,呼吁人们要勤洗手↓↓↓
就连英国女王也开始戴起了手套……
Queen Elizabeth II wore gloves at an investiture at Buckingham Palace on March 3, the first time she has done so since she began carrying out the ceremonies in 1952, amid warnings about the spread of coronavirus and the deadly danger it poses to the over-80s.
The 93-year-old's decision to cover her hands to above the wrists came as the UK government warned that the death rate for people infected is 'significantly ramped up' among the elderly. Britain was also warned that a major outbreak is 'highly likely'.
The queen wears gloves when she meets the public at events or garden parties – but not at investitures where she carries out the fiddly task of fastening the awards to a hook on the recipients' lapels.
虽说,先前女王也经常戴着手套,但都是在与公众见面的活动场合或者花园聚会上。
在王宫内的活动,尤其是授勋仪式上,她几乎是不戴手套的。
从她年轻时起便是如此,这已经成为了女王多年来的一个习惯↓↓↓
不戴手套的原因其实也很简单,方便女王授勋~
而女王上一次“破例”在授勋仪式上戴手套,还是在1954年出宫,在也门举办的一场授勋仪式上↓↓↓
所以,这一次也真真是女王生平第一次在王宫里戴手套授勋了。
据外媒报道,女王决定戴手套也是处于健康考虑,毕竟她老人家也是易感人群了……
不过,除了女王之外,其他王室成员近期在出席活动时,都没有戴手套,比如已经年过七十的查尔斯↓↓↓
威廉凯特也踏上了出访爱尔兰的行程,两人也并没有戴手套,照常会见公众,但在活动期间会听从专业人士的建议。
总之,希望疫情赶快过去吧……
