Denmark's prince consort refuses to be buried with queen
分享到
丹麥亨里克親王與丹麥女王瑪格麗特二世的婚姻已經持續了50年,但是由于不滿自己的頭銜和地位,他表示不希望自己去世后同女王合葬。亨里克親王之前是一名出身于貴族家庭的法國外交官,在瑪格麗特公主繼任王位之后,亨里克被授予女王的“配偶親王”稱號,而他一直希望自己被授予“國王”或是“配偶國王”的稱號。
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.
丹麥亨里克親王出生于法國,是瑪格麗特女王二世的丈夫,近日亨里克親王表示他不希望自己去世后和女王同葬,而這一做法將會打破王室傳統。丹麥王室于8月3日對外公布了這一消息。
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
長期以來,這位83歲高齡的親王一直不滿于自己被視為女王的配角,他表示自己在活著的時候沒有享受與妻子同等的地位,因此不希望死后也被這樣對待。
That decision has been accepted by the queen, the palace's communications chief Lene Balleby told Danish daily BT.
丹麥王室的通訊聯絡主管萊內?巴列比告訴丹麥小報《BT報》,女王已接受了亨里克親王這一決定。
A second palace spokesman confirmed the accuracy of the newspaper report to AFP but provided no other details.
另一位王室發言人向法新社證實了這一報道的準確性,但沒有透露更多細節。
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年瑪格麗特公主繼任王位之后,亨里克親王就表示他對自己未被授予“國王”王室頭銜而感到失望。隨后,亨里克親王曾多次公開表示不滿,但并未從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.
女王與親王若將來不一同安葬于羅斯基勒大教堂,這將打破丹麥王室以往的傳統制度。
The prince consort nonetheless intends to be buried in Denmark.
不過,亨里克親王仍希望被安葬在丹麥。
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.
巴列比說道:“亨里克親王十分熱愛丹麥,并且已經為丹麥服務了50多年。因此,親王希望安葬于丹麥,但是具體細節尚未確定。”
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,亨里克親王出生于法國波爾多附近的達朗斯鎮,全名是Henri Marie Jean Andre Count de Laborde de Monpezat。兩人相遇時,瑪格麗特女王還是丹麥女王儲,而亨里克還是駐倫敦的法國外交官。
Upon marrying her, he changed his name to Henrik, converted from Catholicism to Protestantism and renounced his French citizenship to become a Dane.
在與女王結婚后,亨里克親王把自己的名字改為Henrik(法文名為Henri),從信仰天主教轉變為信仰新教,并放棄了他的法國國籍,成為了一個丹麥人。
By the time Margrethe acceded to the throne, the couple had two young children: Prince Frederik, born in 1968, and Joakim, born in 1969.
當瑪格麗特女王繼承王位時,這對夫婦已育有兩子:王儲弗雷德里克(1968年出生)和王子約阿基姆(1969年出生)。
Henrik retired from public service in January 2016.
在2016年1月份,亨里克親王就已經從大部分的官方任務中退了下來。
