瑞典王室5名成员被除名，变成庶民了

The Swedish royAl house just got a lot smaller.

瑞典王室成员人数缩减。

The children of Princess Madeleine and Chris O’Neill, and Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, are no longer official members of the royal house, the Swedish royal palace announced on Monday.

瑞典王宫周一宣布，玛德琳公主和克里斯·奥尼尔的孩子以及卡尔·菲利普王子和索菲亚王妃的孩子不再是正式皇室成员。

The five grandchildren of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia will no longer be expected to perform official royal duties. While they will remain members of the royal family, they have lost their official HRH (His/Her Royal Highness) titles.

国王卡尔十六世·古斯塔夫和王后希尔维亚的这五个孙辈将不再履行王室职责，虽然他们依然是皇室成员，但没有正式的殿下头衔。

“His Majesty The King has decided on changes to The Royal House. The purpose of these changes is to establish which members of The Royal Family may be expected to perform official duties incumbent on the Head of State or related to the function of the Head of State,” a palace statement read.

一份王宫声明中写道：“国王陛下已经就王室改革做出决定。这些改革是为了确定哪些皇室成员可能需要履行国家元首的职责或与国家元首职能有关的职责。”

“His Majesty The King has decided that the children of Their Royal Highnesses Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia, and the children of Her Royal Highness Princess Madeleine and Mr Christopher O’Neill will no longer be members of The Royal House.”

“国王陛下已决定卡尔·菲利普王子殿下和索菲亚王妃的孩子，以及玛德琳公主殿下和克里斯·奥尼尔先生的孩子将不再是皇室成员。”

Despite losing their title of Royal Highness, Madeleine’s three children — Princess Leonore, 5, Prince Nicolas, 4, Princess Adrienne, 1 – and Carl Philip’s two sons — Prince Alexander, 2, and Prince Gabriel, 2 — will retain their titles of Prince and Princess, but these titles will become personal and any future spouses or children will not have a right to them.

玛德琳的三个孩子——5岁的利奥诺公主、4岁的尼古拉斯王子和1岁的艾德丽安公主，和卡尔·菲利普的两个儿子——2岁的亚历山大王子和2岁的加布里埃尔王子尽管失去了“殿下”的头衔，但仍然保留王子和公主的封号，但这些只是私人头衔，任何未来的配偶或子女都无权使用这些头衔。

Princess Madeleine responded to the news on Instagram, writing: “Earlier today, the court announced that Leonore, Nicolas and Adrienne will no longer belong to the royal house. This change has been planned for a long time. Chris and I think it’s good that our children are now getting a greater opportunity to shape their own lives as private individuals in the future.”

玛德琳公主在Instagram上针对这一消息做出回应，她写道：“今天早些时候，王宫宣布利奥诺、尼古拉斯和艾德丽安将不再是皇室成员，这项改变计划已久。克里斯和我认为这很好，我们的孩子现在有更好的机会能在未来过好自己的私人生活。”
