威廉蜜月地点曝光 为省钱首选国内游
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.
威廉与凯特的大婚典礼越来越近，他们的“蜜月之旅”地点也已经全部最后定好，蜜月打算遵循威廉生母戴安娜王妃与父亲查尔斯当年家庭蜜月的足迹------位于英格兰的西南部的“锡利群岛”成为这对新人的蜜月地首选！据悉，威廉会选择“锡利群岛”作为与凯特的结婚的蜜月地是源于他儿时陪母亲与查尔斯家庭旅游的记忆，有消息透露，威廉与凯特选择进行“国内游”作为蜜月首选纯属迫不得已，因为近年来英国政府的财政预算愈发紧张，越来越多的人紧盯着这对新人婚礼准备“大做文章”，所以威廉与凯特“不得不”为了“平息民意”将蜜月游经费缩紧，将就将就就算了。
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.’
据悉，查尔斯与戴安娜在1981年的蜜月之旅定在“汉普郡蒙巴顿“，皇室工作人员告诉《People》说道：“威廉和凯特看到了日前国内经济低迷的态势，他们觉得如果选择一个豪华奢侈的蜜月旅行会给英国皇室抹黑，与此同时还给英国国民一个铺张浪费的印象。本来他们还打算去肯尼亚（查尔斯的求婚地点）以及加勒比海岸度蜜月，但是，不管是‘出国游’还是‘国内游’英国王室都在尽全力保障这对新人的安全，因为威廉和凯特是在是万人瞩目的焦点，所以，在哪办都不安全！对于我们而言，皇室成员的安全才是应该被摆在首位的。”
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.’
据悉，当年约克公爵夫人创造了属于自己的“皇室盾徽”，还特别制作了自己的格言---大难必有后福。凯特这次正式入住英国皇室的盾徽已经定制完成，但是凯特尚未决定属于自己的格言。不管怎样，凯特成为公爵夫人已经是板上钉钉的事宜，也不管众人对婚礼的琐琐碎碎的封号细节大做文章，这对新人的回应都显得很低调、甚至有一些反应迟钝。威廉希望在婚后保持威廉王子的封号，而凯特也倾向保持凯瑟琳公主的封号，他们不希望自己的爱情被渲染过多的客观元素。
