人物:没有王室保护的日子(2)

Maintains a source with close knowledge of the workings of the royal household:

维持密切了解王室运作的消息来源:

“The palace teams are faced with the difficulty that when things go wrong—particularly on private life matters—quite often any action taken with the media makes it worse.

“王室团队面临的困难是，当事情出错时——尤其是在私生活问题上——只要牵扯到媒体，就会让事情变得更糟。”

It’s not that the royal household doesn’t want to help—more that they don’t want to make it worse by giving a gossipy story more oxygen.”

并不是王室不想帮忙，而是他们不想让这个八卦继续发酵，让情况变得更糟。”

While Kensington Palace had no comment to People, The Sunday Times reported July 5

虽然肯辛顿宫没有对《人物》杂志发表评论，但据《星期日泰晤士报》7月5日报道，

that a royal source dismissed claims that Meghan had no support as “total rubbish,”

一位王室消息人士驳斥了有关梅根没有得到任何支持的说法，称其为“一派胡言”，

adding, “The institution was doing everything in its power to support her.”

并补充说，“肯辛顿宫正在尽其所能支持她。”

The source close to Meghan and Harry¹ notes that the remarks in the documents are not aimed at the royal family.

与梅根和哈里关系密切的消息人士指出，文件中的言论并非针对王室。

“Some people are making (these documents) about individuals. It is about the (institution) as a whole and its practices.”

“有些人在制作关于个人的(这些文件)。但它是关乎整个(王室)及其行动的。”

In a speech to the Diana Award charity on July 1, Harry spoke² out against racial injustice³,
