Denmark's Prince Consort Henrik, the French-born husband of Queen Margrethe II, does not want to be buried with his wife when the time comes, breaking with tradition, the royal palace said Thursday.
丹麦亨里克亲王出生于法国,是玛格丽特女王二世的丈夫,近日亨里克亲王表示他不希望自己去世后和女王同葬,而这一做法将会打破王室传统。丹麦王室于8月3日对外公布了这一消息。

Long vocal about his frustration over being relegated to a supporting role, the 83-year-old prince said he was not on equal footing with his wife in life and therefore did not want to be so in death
长期以来,这位83岁高龄的亲王一直不满于自己被视为女王的配角,他表示自己在活着的时候没有享受与妻子同等的地位,因此不希望死后也被这样对待。

That decision has been accepted by the queen, the palace's communications chief Lene Balleby told Danish daily BT.
丹麦王室的通讯联络主管莱内•巴列比告诉丹麦小报《BT报》,女王已接受了亨里克亲王这一决定。

A second palace spokesman confirmed the accuracy of the newspaper report to AFP but provided no other details.
另一位王室发言人向法新社证实了这一报道的准确性,但没有透露更多细节。

Disappointed that his royal title of prince consort was never changed to king when his wife became queen in 1972, Henrik has often spoken out about his discontent, which did little to endear him to his subjects.
在1972年玛格丽特公主继任王位之后,亨里克亲王就表示他对自己未被授予“国王”王室头衔而感到失望。随后,亨里克亲王曾多次公开表示不满,但并未从臣民那里博得多少同情分。

The couple will break with royal tradition by not being buried together in the Roskilde Cathedral.
女王与亲王若将来不一同安葬于罗斯基勒大教堂,这将打破丹麦王室以往的传统制度。

The prince consort nonetheless intends to be buried in Denmark.
不过,亨里克亲王仍希望被安葬在丹麦。

He "loves Denmark and worked for Denmark for more than 50 years. The prince therefore wants to be buried in Denmark, but the details have not been settled yet," Balleby said.
巴列比说道:“亨里克亲王十分热爱丹麦,并且已经为丹麦服务了50多年。因此,亲王希望安葬于丹麦,但是具体细节尚未确定。”

Born Henri Marie Jean Andre Count de Laborde de Monpezat on June 11, 1934 in Talence, near Bordeaux, he met Margrethe, then the crown-princess, while he was stationed in London as a diplomat.
1934年6月11日,亨里克亲王出生于法国波尔多附近的达朗斯镇,全名是Henri Marie Jean Andre Count de Laborde de Monpezat。两人相遇时,玛格丽特女王还是丹麦女王储,而亨里克还是驻伦敦的法国外交官。

Upon marrying her, he changed his name to Henrik, converted from Catholicism to Protestantism and renounced his French citizenship to become a Dane.
在与女王结婚后,亨里克亲王把自己的名字改为Henrik(法文名为Henri),从信仰天主教转变为信仰新教,并放弃了他的法国国籍,成为了一个丹麦人。

By the time Margrethe acceded to the throne, the couple had two young children: Prince Frederik, born in 1968, and Joakim, born in 1969.
当玛格丽特女王继承王位时,这对夫妇已育有两子:王储弗雷德里克(1968年出生)和王子约阿基姆(1969年出生)。

Henrik retired from public service in January 2016.
在2016年1月份,亨里克亲王就已经从大部分的官方任务中退了下来。
