06-06

跟在哥哥嫂嫂身邊出席活動，也是一直被各種秀恩愛虐狗。多次「榮登」世界級黃金單身漢排行榜的哈里王子，終身大事也是令英國上下操碎了心。

哈里王子的感情生活也一直是英國媒體關注的重點，崩潰的哈里王子表示自己單身都是媒體坑的。每次自己的感情生活剛剛萌芽，就會湧出一大波瘋狂的媒體關注女方，把對方直接嚇跑，造成自己完全無法好好談戀愛。

27日，英國王室終於傳來喜訊，33歲的哈里王子與非裔美籍女友——36歲的演員梅根·馬克爾（Meghan Markle）訂婚，兩人將於2018年春完婚！

這個消息是由英國王室在推特上發布的，稱「哈里王子與梅根·馬克爾小姐訂婚。婚禮將於2018年春季舉行，具體日子將適時公布。」

隨後，哈里王子所居住的肯辛宮也在推特上發表的聲明，確認了兩人訂婚一事。

隨後，兩人與媒體見面，親自確認在11月初已訂婚。

英國首相特蕾莎·梅（Theresa May）也在第一時間通過推特送上祝福：

「I would like to offer my very warmest congratulations to HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle upon their engagement.」「我想對哈里王子和梅根·馬克爾的訂婚致以最熱烈的祝賀。」

「This is a time of huge celebration for two people in love and, on behalf of myself, the Government and the country, I wish them great happiness for the future.」

「這是為兩個相愛的人歡慶的時刻。我代表我個人、政府和整個英國，祝他們幸福快樂。」

喜訊傳出後，網友們也紛紛點贊：

哈里王子訂婚的消息迅速佔領各大頭條，BBC，衛報等英媒爭相直播兩人在公眾面前的首次正式亮相。

At 2pm the smiling couple made it official by posing for photographs arm in arm in the Sunken Garden.當日下午兩點，這對春風滿面的情侶在低地花園第一次正式亮相，手挽著手拍攝照片。

Harry looked nervous but happy and his fiancée stroked his arm lovingly as they spoke to reporters – with the actress calming his nerves rather than the other way round.與記者交談時，哈里看起來既開心又緊張，而馬克爾則深情地撫著哈里的手臂，反過來安慰未婚夫的緊張情緒。

哈里王子的愛情是怎麼出現的呢？他是不是也如普通人一般，看到心目中的女孩，會「一見鍾情」並緊追不捨呢？的確如此，哈里王子就是這樣的愛上了梅根，如「天上所有的星星都排成了一行」般如此地肯定。同時，梅根能擺平一切，應對所發生的一切，讓哈里沒有負擔。

I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly — it was a confirmation to me thatall the stars were aligned.This beautiful woman literally tripped and fell into my life. I fell into her life and the fact that she will be unbelievably good at the job part of it as well is obviously a huge relief to me because she"ll be able to deal with everything else that comes with it.

對於梅根來說，這一場戀情並不是如「龍捲風」（whirlwind）一般的猛烈，而是經過了經過了五六個月的秘密約會之後才公開。

I don』t think that I would call it a whirlwind in terms of our relationship, obviously there have been layers attached to how public it has become after we had a good five, six months almost with just privacy, which was amazing.

不過，對於他們倆之間的感情，尤其要克服異地戀（a long distance relationship），依然是「一日不見如隔三秋」。好在他們都能處理得很好：

But no, I think we were able to really have so much time just to connect and we never went longer than two weeks without seeing each other, even though we were obviously doing a long distance relationship. So it』s – we made it work.

當然，最重要的是哈里選擇了一個什麼樣的時間以及以什麼方式向梅根求婚的呢？會很romantic嗎？會讓梅根有一個大大的驚喜嗎？

Prince Harry proposed earlier this month during a "standard, typical night for us" at his home in Kensington Palace.
"It was just an amazing surprise. It was so sweet, and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee," Ms Markle said.

Prince Harry said: "She didn"t even let me finish. She said, "Can I say yes."
"Then there were hugs and I had the ring in my finger.
"I said, "Can I give you the ring?" She said: "Oh, yes, the ring." It was a really nice moment. Just the two of us."
Turning to Ms Markle, Prince Harry said: "And I think I managed to catch you by surprise as well."

原來，哈里用了一個非常傳統的求婚方式：在一個看似普通的夜晚，在兩個獨處的時候，突然單膝跪地，準備說出自己的求婚詞，然後拿出戒子給心上人戴上。

說到訂婚戒指，哈里說除了中間的那顆鑽石是自己從波茨瓦納找到的外，另兩顆小一些的是從自己的母親的珠寶藏品中挑出來的。他希望以這種方式讓自己的母親見證自己的一路走來的戀情以及未來的日子。

The ring is – is obviously yellow gold because that』s what – her favorite and the main stone itself I sourced from Botswana and the – the little diamonds either side are from my mother』s jewelry collection to make sure that she』s with us on this – on this crazy journey together.

他還特意告訴自己的未婚妻，要一直帶著這個戒子，「make sure it stays on that finger」。

哈里王子認為自己的母親黛安娜肯定會對訂婚一事「欣喜若狂」，甚至是用be on the moon 以及 jump up and down來表示。他還表示母親一定會與梅根成為最好的朋友的。

Oh they』d be thick as thieves, without question, I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know so excited for me, but then, as I said, would have probably been best friends – best friends with Meghan.So no it』s – you know it is days like – days like today when – when I really miss having her around and miss being able to share the happy news. But you know with the ring and with everything else that』s going on I』m sure she』s …I』m sure she』s with us yeah, you know, jumping up and down somewhere else.

對於哈里王子用如此有意義的鑽石作為訂婚戒子，梅根也是覺得哈里非常貼心（thoughtfulness），將母親的遺物以及對他們倆第一次單獨約會地方波茨瓦納產的鑽石一起，親自設計，送給她，並陪伴他們一起度過未來的生活。她覺得這對她完美（perfect）。

I think everything about Harry』s thoughtfulness is – and the inclusion of that and obviously not being able to meet his mom it』s so important to me to – to know that she』s a part of this with us. And I think in being able to meet his aunts and – and also like Julia and just different people who were so important to his mom, I』m able to, in some way, know a part of her through them and of course through him. And it』s – it』s incredibly special. And you know to be able to have this which sort of links where you come from and Botswana which is important to us and it』s – it』s perfect.
