威廉蜜月地點曝光 爲省錢首選國內遊

Prince William and Kate Middleton are planning a budget honeymoon in the Scilly Isles. The Royal couple are also considering telling friends not to get them lavish gifts when they tie the knot - but instead make donations to charity. The couple have reportedly drawn up a shortlist of British honeymoon destinations - because Palace officials don't want them going on an expensive foreign break while Britons see their living standards squeezed. Prince William last went on holiday to the Scilly Isles - off the coast from Penzance - on a family holiday with his mother Diana, brother Harry and Prince Charles in 1989 when he was just seven.
　　威廉與凱特的大婚典禮越來越近，他們的“蜜月之旅”地點也已經全部最後定好，蜜月打算遵循威廉生母戴安娜王妃與父親查爾斯當年家庭蜜月的足跡------位於英格蘭的西南部的“錫利羣島”成爲這對新人的蜜月地首選！據悉，威廉會選擇“錫利羣島”作爲與凱特的結婚的蜜月地是源於他兒時陪母親與查爾斯家庭旅遊的記憶，有消息透露，威廉與凱特選擇進行“國內遊”作爲蜜月首選純屬迫不得已，因爲近年來英國政府的財政預算愈發緊張，越來越多的人緊盯着這對新人婚禮準備“大做文章”，所以威廉與凱特“不得不”爲了“平息民意”將蜜月遊經費縮緊，將就將就就算了。

Charles and Diana spent time at Lord Mountbatten's Hampshire estate and at Balmoral on their honeymoon in 1981. An aide told the People: 'William and Kate are acutely aware that in these difficult times being seen to take a luxury honeymoon would not look good and send out entirely the wrong signal. 'Neither has lavish tastes and a domestic location is ideal to ensure they are secure.' It had been thought that William and Kate would fly to Kenya where the Prince proposed or go to the Caribbean. Meanwhile, bride-to-be Kate is so busy with wedding plans she has yet to apply for her own coat of arms, the College of Arms confirmed yesterday. Yesterday Clive Cheesman, officer of arms at the College of Arms, told The Mail on Sunday: ‘We have not received any application thus far. For normal applicants the process can take up to eight months from first consultation to the completed process. However in this instance it could be arranged in two weeks.’

據悉，查爾斯與戴安娜在1981年的蜜月之旅定在“漢普郡蒙巴頓“，皇室工作人員告訴《People》說道：“威廉和凱特看到了日前國內經濟低迷的態勢，他們覺得如果選擇一個豪華奢侈的蜜月旅行會給英國皇室抹黑，與此同時還給英國國民一個鋪張浪費的印象。本來他們還打算去肯尼亞（查爾斯的求婚地點）以及加勒比海岸度蜜月，但是，不管是‘出國遊’還是‘國內遊’英國王室都在盡全力保障這對新人的安全，因爲威廉和凱特是在是萬人矚目的焦點，所以，在哪辦都不安全！對於我們而言，皇室成員的安全才是應該被擺在首位的。”

The Duchess of York created her own coat of arms with the rather apt motto, ‘from adversity grows happiness’. It is still not known which title Kate will take once she is married to Prince William. The likely options for William are Duke of Clarence, Duke of Cambridge, Duke of Connaught or Duke of Sussex, all of which would make Kate a duchess. But she and William are said to be reluctant. A source said: ‘William wants to stay Prince William and Kate likes the idea of being Princess Catherine. They think being duke and duchess ages them by 30 years. They may in the end choose not to have a title.’

據悉，當年約克公爵夫人創造了屬於自己的“皇室盾徽”，還特別製作了自己的格言---大難必有後福。凱特這次正式入住英國皇室的盾徽已經定製完成，但是凱特尚未決定屬於自己的格言。不管怎樣，凱特成爲公爵夫人已經是板上釘釘的事宜，也不管衆人對婚禮的瑣瑣碎碎的封號細節大做文章，這對新人的迴應都顯得很低調、甚至有一些反應遲鈍。威廉希望在婚後保持威廉王子的封號，而凱特也傾向保持凱瑟琳公主的封號，他們不希望自己的愛情被渲染過多的客觀元素。
