Why Kate Middleton and Prince William Don't Show PDA Like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
为什么威廉王子和凯特·米德尔顿不像哈里王子和梅根·马克尔那样当众撒狗粮呢？
Prince William and Kate Middleton had a fairytale wedding that ended in a passionate kiss in church, along with a small show of affection as they smooched on the balcony at Buckingham Palace in front of millions of well-wishers across the globe. But that is where their public displays of affection started and quickly ended.
威廉王子和凯特.米德尔顿在教堂里举行了童话般的婚礼，以他们充满激情的亲吻结束，然后他们在全球数百万人的祝愿中，在白金汉宫阳台上稍显爱慕亲了一下。但这就是他们当众示爱的开始，以及迅速的收尾。
Since their wedding day, the couple has welcomed two beautiful children and announced a third on the way, so we know there is, um, some romance happening somewhere — it just isn’t happening in the form of hand-holding, kissing, or hugging in the public eye. And that is exactly how the royal family likes it.
自他们结婚的那天之后，这对夫妇迎来了两个漂亮的孩子，并在宣布第三个也即将到来，所以我们知道，嗯，浪漫肯定是有的—只是不以拉着手、接吻或拥抱的形式，展现在公众的眼前。而这，正是皇室家族所喜欢的。
“There is no actual etiquette or royal protocol that says the couple must refrain from PDA,” Myka Meier, a royal etiquette expert and founder and director of Beaumont Etiquette, told People in 2016. “The couple are likely to show very little PDA, if any, to remain professional during their designated roles abroad.”
"并没有什么礼仪或王室规定,约束这对夫妇必须克制撒狗粮,"Myka Meier是一位皇家礼节专家和Beaumont礼仪(公司）的创始人和总监。她在2016年告诉People杂志。”这对夫妇很可能会很少甚至没有公众显爱，以保持在国外时他们所代表的职业形象。”
Beyond looking professional, Robin Kermode, a body language expert, told the Daily Mail that the couple may also refrain from any displays of affection because the Queen herself told them to.
除了职业形象外，肢体语言专家Robin Kermode告诉《每日邮报》说,这对夫妇也可能会因为女王亲自告诉他们,而避免任何形式的情感流露。
“The Queen rarely holds hands with her husband in public and this seems to have set an unwritten precedent for the other royals,” Kermode said.
Kermode说:“女王在公开场合，很少与丈夫拉手，这似乎为其他皇室成员设定了一个不成文的先例。
And don’t let this refusal to hold hands in front of the world confuse you or make you think the royal couple isn’t as strong, committed, and loving as the rest of us. As Kermode noted, “It is very clear that William and Kate are emotionally close, however, they do not seem to feel the need to prove their love – particularly when on official state business.”
不要被这种拒绝在世界面前牵手而令你怀疑或认为王室夫妇不像我们普通人那样坚定、忠诚和相爱。正如Kermode指出的,"很明显,威廉和凯特在感情上很亲近，然而，他们似乎并不觉得有必要证明自己的爱—尤其是在代表国家的事务上。
The expert added, “They come across as a strong, independent couple and while they are always on show, they do not feel the need to ‘show’ their love for each other to the world.”
专家补充说,“他们给人的印象是他们是一对很强的、独立的夫妻，虽然他们总像是在台上似的,他们不觉得有必要向世界'显示'他们对对方的爱。
And while this royal pair is semi-banned from being lovey-dovey in public, there is at least one royal couple who isn’t: Prince Harry and his girlfriend, Meghan Markle.
虽然这对皇室成员部分的被禁止在公共场合秀恩爱，但至少有另一对皇室男女没有这样的顾忌: 哈里王子和他的女友梅根马克尔。
As Vogue noted, Harry and Meghan have been showing their love for each other all over the 2017 Invictus Games, with photos showing the couple holding hands, kissing, and smiling at one another. (Although they have reportedly been pulling off secret, incognito airport pick-ups for quite some time.)
正如时尚杂志所指出的,哈利和梅根在2017Invictus大赛中一直在大把撒狗粮，照片显示这对情侣手牵着手，接吻，互相微笑。(尽管据报道,他们在相当长的一段时间里一直在暗中隐瞒，隐姓埋名的机场接头。）
So why can they show off their love but Will and Kate can’t? It’s simple: it all comes down to Harry’s place in the line of royal succession.
那么,为什么他们能炫耀他们的爱，而威尔和凯特不能呢？这很简单:这一切都归结于哈里在皇室继承中的地位。
As Vogue noted, Harry will soon become the sixth in line for the throne. This means his royal duties will ultimately come to an end. And while we will undoubtedly love the ginger-haired royal forever, he will no longer be responsible for holding up royal decorum in the way his brother, sister-in-law, and nieces and nephews will be expected to. So perhaps Harry, the “spare heir,” really did win out in the end.
正如时尚杂志所指出的，哈利很快就会成为王位的第六个顺位继承人。这意味着他的王室职责最终将结束。虽然我们无疑会永远爱着生姜色头发的皇家成员，但他将不再有责任像他的哥哥、嫂子、侄女和侄子那样保持王室礼仪。所以，也许哈利，这个”备用继承人”，才是最终真正的赢家。
