--
✏Behind the scenes, however, being a princess wasn’t as ✏glamorous as it seemed. In a documentary that ✏aired in October 2019, Meghan said that adjusting to royal life had been hard, and that the intense scrutiny of Britain’s ✏tabloid media was 🔎taking a toll on her mental and physical health. But the biggest shock was still to come. In January 2020, after returning from a six-week stay in Canada, Harry and Meghan announced that they would be stepping away from their duties as senior royals—a move dubbed “Megxit” by the tabloid media.
不過,在螢幕之外,當王妃並不如表面上風光。在2019年十月播放的紀錄片中,梅根表示,適應王室生活一直不是件容易的事,英國八卦小報的緊迫盯人也對她的身心健康造成負擔。然而,最勁爆的事還在後頭。2020年一月,在加拿大度過六週假期回到英國後,哈利與梅根夫婦宣布退出英國王室的高級成員職責──這個宣言被八卦媒體稱為「梅根脫英」。
While there was much ✏speculation about Harry and Meghan’s motives at the time, the reasons became clear in a ✏bombshell March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey in Montecito, California, where the couple now live in a recently purchased $14 million mansion. In the interview, Meghan said that the great pressure she was under caused her to have suicidal thoughts. “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she said. Yet when she asked the palace staff about seeking treatment, she was told that it “wouldn’t be good for the institution.” Perhaps even more shocking, Meghan revealed that within the royal family, there were “concerns and conversations about how dark Archie’s skin might be when he’s born.”
雖然當時對哈利梅根此舉背後的動機有諸多臆測,但真正的理由隨著2021年三月兩夫婦向歐普拉爆料後水落石出。錄製此訪談的地點剛好位在兩夫婦最近以1400萬美元購買的豪宅,加州蒙特斯托。訪談中梅根表示,巨大壓力使她萌生自殺念頭。「我就是不想活了。」然而她向王室工作人員尋求協助時,卻僅被告知「這對王室不利。」更令人震驚的是,梅根透露,王室成員對於亞契的膚色會不會太黑有諸多疑慮。
In a statement released after the Oprah interview, Queen Elizabeth said, “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some ✏recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.”
隨著歐普拉訪談秀播出之後,伊莉莎白女王二世做出回應:「他們所提出的問題令人關切,尤其是種族問題。雖然部分回憶可能彼此有所出入,但王室會認真看待並私下處理。」

本週先對梅根的背景與求學經歷做介紹:
--
When Meghan Markle married Prince Harry in 2018 in a fairy-tale wedding at Windsor Castle, many believed that the independent, 🔖mixed-race American woman would breathe new life into Britain’s 🔖stuffy, 🔖conservative royal family.
2018年,梅根馬克爾與哈利王子在溫莎堡舉行如童話故事般的世紀婚禮之時,許多人相信這位崇尚自由、多元族裔的美國女性能為保守僵化的英國王室注入新氣息。
Born in Los Angeles to a white father and an African-American mother, Meghan developed an interest in television as a child while visiting the set of Married… With Children with her father, who worked as director of photography and lighting. Meghan studied both international relations and theater at Northwestern University, but 🔖ending up pursuing an acting career after landing a big role on Suits. During her seven seasons on the hit legal drama, the actress also found time to start a popular lifestyle blog, The Tig, and create two successful 🔖fashion lines.
梅根出生於洛杉磯,父親是白人而母親則是非裔美國人,身為攝影燈光執導的爸爸在她小時候帶她參觀《凡夫俗妻妙寶貝》影集拍攝,梅根便開始對電視圈產生濃厚興趣。梅根就讀於美國西北大學,雙主修國際關係與戲劇學位,因獲得了在美劇《金裝律師》演出主角的機會而決定走上演員之路。她參演這齣人氣法律影集到第七季,同時還找出時間經營自己的生活品味部落格〈The Tig〉,並創立了兩個成功的時裝系列。
After becoming the Dutchess of Sussex, however, Meghan had to give up her acting and fashion careers—being a princess, after all, is a full-time job. Between attending charity events, 🔖accompanying Prince Harry on overseas tours as representatives of the Queen, and giving birth to son Archie, Meghan had a busy schedule, ✏to say the least.
然而,成為薩塞克斯公爵夫人的梅根不得不放棄她的演員與時尚生涯,專心當英國王妃──畢竟這可是份全職工作。在參與慈善活動之餘,梅根也陪同哈利王子以女王代表的身分出席海外活動,並產下長子亞契,說她的行程滿滿一點也不為過。
