瑞典王室5名成員被除名，變成庶民了
The Swedish royal house just got a lot smaller.
瑞典王室成員人數縮減。
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.
瑞典王宮週一宣佈，瑪德琳公主和克里斯·奧尼爾的孩子以及卡爾·菲利普王子和索菲亞王妃的孩子不再是正式皇室成員。
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.
國王卡爾十六世·古斯塔夫和王后希爾維亞的這五個孫輩將不再履行王室職責，雖然他們依然是皇室成員，但沒有正式的殿下頭銜。
“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.
一份王宮聲明中寫道：“國王陛下已經就王室改革做出決定。這些改革是爲了確定哪些皇室成員可能需要履行國家元首的職責或與國家元首職能有關的職責。”
“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.”
“國王陛下已決定卡爾·菲利普王子殿下和索菲亞王妃的孩子，以及瑪德琳公主殿下和克里斯·奧尼爾先生的孩子將不再是皇室成員。”
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.
瑪德琳的三個孩子——5歲的利奧諾公主、4歲的尼古拉斯王子和1歲的艾德麗安公主，和卡爾·菲利普的兩個兒子——2歲的亞歷山大王子和2歲的加布裏埃爾王子儘管失去了“殿下”的頭銜，但仍然保留王子和公主的封號，但這些只是私人頭銜，任何未來的配偶或子女都無權使用這些頭銜。
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.”
瑪德琳公主在Instagram上針對這一消息做出迴應，她寫道：“今天早些時候，王宮宣佈利奧諾、尼古拉斯和艾德麗安將不再是皇室成員，這項改變計劃已久。克里斯和我認爲這很好，我們的孩子現在有更好的機會能在未來過好自己的私人生活。”
