英國公主的平民生活

【新唐人2016年08月18日訊】比起英國女王伊麗莎白二世和菲利普親王,這位尤金妮·維多利亞·海倫娜(英文:Eugenie Victoria Helena)公主大概就很少有人熟知了。尤金妮公主殿下生於1990年3月,是現任英國女皇伊麗莎白的孫女,出生時在英國王位繼承名單上排到第六位,現在則是順位第八。在英國獲得紐卡索大學文學及美術史學學士學位的尤金妮公主並非整日忙碌在皇室的宮殿當中,褪去公主光環的她其實是一家畫廊的普通上班族。

Princess Eugenie of York in Harper’s Bazaar . . The 26-year-old Princess Eugenie of York posed for the September issue of Harper’s Bazaar, and was also interviewed. . ◼ Princess Eugenie thinks people might be surprised to learn that she has a full time job though she does admit that her art gallery company is quite ‘accommodating’ when it comes to working around her princessly duties. . ▪ An early bird, the younger sister of Princess Beatrice wakes up every weekday at 6:45am to get a workout in before heading to the office. . ▪ The young royal immediately starts reading personal emails from the moment the alarm goes off, a habit which she admitted her mother, Sarah Ferguson, lectures her about. It is of Fergie’s opinion, Eugenie said, that emails first thing can ‘ruin’ the beginning of a day. . ◼ After ensuring she is up to date on her emails, the princess quickly gets out the door to exercise from 7am to 8am. Some days, she heads to the park, where she does circuit training that focuses on burpees, squat jumps, and lunges. . ◼ On other days, she skips the park in favor of going to the private, women-only gym at Grace Belgravia the same workout spot frequented by Cara Delevingne, which comes with a hefty £5,500-a-year ($7,154) membership fee. . ◼ On her way home, she’ll pick up groceries at a nearby Waitrose supermarket, if she knows that she will need them before showering and dressing for the day. . . . #PrincessEugenie #PrincessEugenieofYork #HerRoyalHighness #BritishMonarchy #Monarchy #Royalty #RoyalFamily #HouseofWindsor

最近,尤金妮公主接受了英國某雜誌的專訪,談話中她坦言自己的生活其實和普通市民並無太大區別。也許不是王位首要繼承人的緣故,尤金妮公主並不像查爾斯王子和威廉王子那樣倍受媒體關注,身無壓力的她每天早晨6點45分準時起床,查收郵件後便要出門運動一個小時左右,和我們一樣,尤金妮也喜歡運動後順路去附近的超市買點東西。

有時上班前來不及化妝,一臉素顏的她也會坐在車裡一邊趕路一邊打理梳妝。說起公主的日常衣著,也大多是Sandro、Zara、Topshop這些大眾品牌。就這樣,在沒有皇室活動的時候,公主一身休閑打扮,和我們一樣朝九晚五的工作著。每當獨自在家時,尤金妮也會自己下廚做飯,一邊啃著薯片一邊看美劇,像是「逍遙法外」、「局外人」等都是他的最愛。

白天,尤金妮公主在畫廊主要負責一些特殊項目的策劃、管理活動以及對藝術合作者給於相關支持。然而,公主的工作還是會有著特別的優待,每當公主須要旅行皇室職責時都可以隨時請假或是早退,去參加皇室的有關活動或是慈善晚宴等。對此,尤金妮表示:「我明白身上所肩負的責任感,只要女王有需要,我會盡一切力量支持她」!
