Kate Middleton has asked her wedding guests to donate to an anti-bullying charity, in a tacit admission she was a victim at school. Former classmates have previously revealed how then 13-year-old Kate was forced to leave a private school after being targeted by bullies. Her parents are said to have removed her after just two terms, before sending their daughter to the exclusive Marlborough College part-way through the academic year.
随着威廉王子和凯特在威斯敏斯特大教堂的婚礼之日日趋临近,关于婚礼的报道铺天盖地,这不,关于婚礼的“礼金”问题又一次的浮上了水面。据称,威廉王子和凯特都拒绝接受礼金,只能接受亲友范围内的“小礼物”。对于礼金问题,这对准夫妇们有着自己的理解,凯特希望参加参加婚礼的宾客把“礼金”换成 “募捐”形式,将白花花的银子捐给“反欺凌慈善机构”。据透露,这位准王妃做出这个决定并非是“哗众取宠”,当时年仅13岁的凯特因童年在学校遭受“恐吓威胁”被迫离开私立学校,转到马尔伯勒学校继续念书,看来新娘子还没完全摆脱恐吓对她的童年遭成的伤害。

Now the Beatbullying charity has been included in a list of good causes that ‘resonate with’ Kate, 29, and Prince William. While most couples set up a gift list ahead of their big day, the royal couple yesterday asked their 1,900 guests and tens of thousands of well-wishers to donate to one of 26 chosen charities instead.
对于在婚礼当天的“礼金”事宜,29岁的准王妃凯特和威廉王子经过了“深思熟虑”后做出了这个决定,他们对参加在威斯敏斯特大教堂婚礼的1900名宾客特别制作了“慈善机构”的单子,单子中赫然列出26项符合捐赠,仅供他们的参考。皇室夫妇的意愿是:反正你要给钱是可以的,但是我们不要。要是非给不可,那您就发发慈悲,捐给我们指定的慈善机构吧!

They include a London Zoo project to save the black rhino in Kenya, where William proposed, and several military charities linked to William’s work as an RAF search and rescue pilot and his new role as a colonel in the Irish Guards.
对于慈善机构名单的种类来说,可以算是“花样繁多”,除了准王妃凯特青睐的“反欺凌慈善机构”,还有威廉王子“点名”的伦敦动物园等等,为了保护肯尼亚黑犀牛,威廉王子贴心爱动物的一面也展现在我们的勉强。此外,因威廉王子以前曾效力的英国皇家空军等军事组织,目前的新角色是在爱尔兰近卫团担任陆军中校的职位让许多针对飞行员的救援等项目的慈善机构的名单也包括了进去。
