Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made a surprising move in January, as they announced that they will step away from the spotlight and embark on a new life away from the British royal family.
今年1月,萨塞克斯公爵夫妇哈里和梅根做出了一个出人意料的决定 —— 宣布两人将远离聚光灯,退出英王室开始新生活。
Since then, many royal fans have been eager to know their motivation. And they will soon find out the answer in the book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, set to be released on Aug 11. It is written by royal journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand who have covered the Sussexes extensively.
从那以后,许多王室粉丝都想知道两人这么做背后的缘由。他们很快便能在《寻找自由:哈里与梅根,打造现代王室家庭》一书中找到答案,该传记将于8月11日面市。该书由王室记者奥米德·斯科比和卡罗琳·杜兰德所著,此前他们曾对萨塞克斯公爵夫妇进行了大量报道。
The Duchess wanted the publication date bumped up. “If Meghan had it her way, the book would be released tomorrow instead of three months from now. She said the book will finally set the record straight and show the world why they were left with no other choice than to leave the royal life,” an insider exclusively told the Daily Mail.
公爵夫妇希望将这本书的发售日期提前。“如果梅根能做主的话,这本书明天就会发布,而不是三个月后。她表示,这本书会让一切水落石出,让全世界都知道他们为何除了离开王室生活之外,别无选择,”一位内部人士在接受《每日邮报》独家采访时如此说道。
“For the very first time, Finding Freedom goes beyond the headlines to reveal unknown details of Harry and Meghan’s life together, dispelling many rumors and misconceptions that plague the couple on both sides of the pond,” the book’s online description reads.
“《寻找自由》这本书将首次超越媒体头条,揭秘哈里梅根生活中不为人知的细节,并澄清大西洋两岸困扰这对夫妻俩的众多谣言与误解,”该书的线上简介如此写道。
