女王昨天在白金汉宫(Buckingham Palace)进行了一整天的整整一天,然后返回温莎(Windsor)铂金禧年灯塔的照明这就是为什么皇家官员今天宣布她不会参加圣保罗大教堂的感恩节服务,而是在电视上观看。

宫殿还宣布,安德鲁王子对Covid的测试呈阳性,还将错过感恩节的服务。有些人侧眼旁边是,因为好几个星期了,人们一直在讨论安德鲁问题。word is he was insisting on being part of the service today that marked the largest gathering of British royals since 2018. But he’s also the big family stain and shame and on an occasion that’s supposed to be celebratory and positive-only, having him there would be a negative distraction, no matter how supportive the Queen is of her son. So there is speculation that COVID is a convenient way to explain his absence without him having to lose face. Whatever the truth is, it's a loss for Andrew no matter how you see it. Because we all know how f-cking desperate he was to puff his chest out in front of a global audience to remind the world that he is, indeed, royal. And now he has to remain in his (luxury) cave, hidden away, while almost every other royal, save Her Majesty, turned up for the show and were greeted by cheers.

安德鲁可能并非如此。你可以想象?这并不是这是一群人太客气了,无法嘘。他们嘘了鲍里斯·约翰逊当然,这并不一定意味着安德鲁本来会以同样的方式打招呼,但是,这就是为什么他们不能冒险的原因。

你知道谁没有嘘吗?哈里王子和梅根。

这是指英国小报不懈地声称人们不希望哈利和梅根在那里。To be clear, they weren’t the only royals to have received cheers but the reason people are making note of this is because you would think, from the way the Daily Mail for example goes on about it so breathlessly, that they would have been the ones who got the reception that Boris Johnson received. And it was, in fact, the opposite.

对于英国王室而言,今天的一切都按照他们的计划进行 - 没有戏剧,没有干扰,没有什么可以摆脱女王的里程碑。This was a return to unity, with everyone on the same page: let’s give them nothing to sensationalise… which is why the most the Daily Mail and the tabloids can do is to try to make a story out of the fact that Harry and Meghan were seated on the opposite side of the aisle from Prince William and Kate and that the four had no contact. The intrigue then, if there is to be any, is the seating plan and whether or not it’s indicative of continuing tensions between the brothers.

但是,这些紧张局势并不是什么新鲜事。我的意思是已经有几年了,所以限制了他们可以旋转多少。但是,我们可以摆脱哈利和梅根的固定,这是哈利和梅根的固定。尤其是女王的情况下,让我们不要假装今天观看的许多人(如果不是大多数人)都专注于苏塞克斯人的存在以及他们重返皇家参与。哈利和梅根不再是高级皇室成员,不再是英国王室的工作成员,但他们的关注(即使不是更多)比那些的关注。他们产生的头条与那些同样多的头条新闻(即使没有)。随着女王的缩减她的存在,禧年需要苏塞克斯人吗?

尽管如此,即使在哈利和梅根(Harry)和梅根(Meghan)促进了兴趣,与皇家机构试图炒作的程度相比,禧年本身也变得相当柔和。它已经静音了几个月,女王的年龄和健康涉及她今年的知名度(现在已经结束了一半),而沃尔(Will)和凯特(Kate)则陷入了困境,然后是爱德华(Edward)和索菲(Sophie)的加勒比海之旅。但是,即使没有这些问题,与皇家大型婚礼相比,在这些时代,像禧年一样,本身,本身也可能是一个艰难的销售。

那是我们最后一次接受这种皇家井喷,对吗?世界各地的皇家活动现场直播?但是,关于婚礼的事情是,传统上有一些悬念的时刻是为了创造预期。它们的设计旨在增加动力。

首先,我们看到名人出席,这是第一个lol比赛视频2019刺激。然后是皇家新郎和他的伴郎,穿着制服,到达教堂,这是下一个快感。Then the bridal party, the little flower children adorable in their little wedding outfits – it’s thrill upon thrill, a gradual crescendo leading up to the biggest thrill of them all: the wedding dress reveal, it’s probably THE moment that people wake up for when they tune in to watch a royal extravaganza. Everyone wants to see the royal bride alight from the carriage and ascend the steps to the church. And after that, you take a breath during the service, and it all rises up again as you wait for the kiss at the altar, before it all culminates in the ultimate fairytale moment, when the royal bride and groom exit the church for the first time officially married to the sound of church bells ringing.

想想威廉和凯特在威斯敏斯特大教堂的灰姑娘时刻。想想哈利和梅根在圣乔治教堂的时刻。

然后回到禧年……好吧……活动本身或本周末的一系列活动,只是没有相同的拳头。本周末没有相同的照片可以与这些婚礼镜头的所有力量相匹配。他们正在努力,祝福他们正在尽力而为,但再次,让我们不要假装世界各地的数百万人按照他们的时间表,按照他们的婚礼和凯特的婚礼以及哈利和梅根的方式。

这就是皇家机构将不得不解决未来的公关难题。因为在禧年中投入的所有能量都是为了提高对君主制的兴趣并确保其未来。是的,是的,我们在这里是为了纪念女王,但始终和永远的指导目的是,在尊敬她时,他们重申了她的代表,这是君主制的连续性。这意味着禧年评分很重要。而且我不确定人们是否会以他们所希望的数字来调整Jub。因为事实的真相是,尤其是连续性,这不是谁在所有这些几十年中一直登上王位,而是谁在她身后。以及将包围他们的王室圈子。

因此,要回到今天在圣保罗的皇家代表那里,吸引眼球的人,吸引观众并捕捉公众的想象力的人,君主制可以依靠的明星来使人们保持兴趣和关怀?他们愿意依靠的明星来使人们保持兴趣和关怀?
