5 Royal Family Mother's Day Traditions You Probably Have Too, and 1 You Definitely Don't

英國(guó)王室母親節(jié)的6個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，其中一個(gè)你肯定做不到

Mother's Day is on May 12 this year, but for our friends across the pond, it's already come and gone (it was on March 31 in the UK). And since the royal family is currently busy with all things royal baby, you may not have noticed their very low-key celebrations.

今年的母親節(jié)是5月12日，但對(duì)于大西洋彼岸的朋友來說，它已經(jīng)成為了過去式(英國(guó)的母親節(jié)是3月31日)。而由于王室目前正忙于新王室寶寶的事情，你可能沒有在意他們非常低調(diào)的母親節(jié)慶祝活動(dòng)。

In the UK, Mother's Day is traditionally known as Mothering Sunday because it revolves around church. And while the royals may go all out and have fancy photo ops for other church holidays like Christmas, Mother's Day is a lot quieter — they usually all stay out of the public eye. On this day, they're a lot more like us! Since they already celebrated, keep reading to find out exactly what they do to get inspiration for your own mom — or "mum"!

在英國(guó)，母親節(jié)傳統(tǒng)上被稱為“母親星期天”，因?yàn)檫@個(gè)節(jié)日和教堂緊密相關(guān)。雖然王室成員會(huì)在圣誕節(jié)等宗教節(jié)日時(shí)外出拍攝很多官方照片，但在母親節(jié)時(shí)他們會(huì)清閑一些，通常都會(huì)遠(yuǎn)離公眾視線。在這一天，他們就像普通人一樣！既然他們已經(jīng)慶祝過了，那就來看看他們到底做了些什么，以便讓每個(gè)人得到如何慶祝母親的節(jié)日的靈感！

1?? ?Stay Out of the Public Eye

1?? ?遠(yuǎn)離公眾視線

There actually aren't a ton of things the monarchy does on this special day. In fact, more often than not, they stay out of the public eye and spend quality time with family — as they should! Last year, for example, Prince Harry brought then-fiancée Meghan Markle to see the queen, and they were only photographed out and about the next day, which was Commonwealth Day.

事實(shí)上，在這個(gè)節(jié)日里，王室并沒有很多事情要做。他們往往遠(yuǎn)離公眾視線，與家人共度美好時(shí)光，而這本就是他們應(yīng)得的時(shí)光。例如去年，哈里王子帶著當(dāng)時(shí)的未婚妻梅根·馬克爾去見女王，到了第二天即英聯(lián)邦紀(jì)念日，他們才被拍到外出活動(dòng)。

2?? ?Give Flowers to Their Mums

2?? ?送上鮮花

Since the beginning of the Mothering Sunday holiday, children have given their mums flowers and small gifts, and the royal family sticks with this tradition. Flowers are usually at the top of the list for all British families on this holiday, but cards and gifts have made their way into the celebration in more recent years.

母親節(jié)一到，孩子們就會(huì)給媽媽送上鮮花和小禮物，而英國(guó)王室也堅(jiān)持這一傳統(tǒng)。鮮花通常是所有英國(guó)家庭在母親節(jié)的首選禮物，不過近年來，賀卡和禮物也加入了節(jié)日禮物之列。

3?? ?Release Photos to the Public

3?? ?發(fā)個(gè)“朋友圈”

Although this doesn't happen every year, the royal family have been known to release unseen photos to the public on Mother's Day. For example, Prince William and his family released an adorable family photo on Mother's Day back in 2014 when it was just little Prince George and his parents. In 2018, the royal family unveiled a never-before-seen picture of Queen Elizabeth II and her family — including all of her children and husband Prince Philip — at their more private residence, Frogmore, from 1965. It's basically our version of Facebook photos.

英國(guó)王室通常會(huì)在母親節(jié)這天向公眾發(fā)布一些未曾公開的照片，不過這不是每年的例行傳統(tǒng)。例如，2014年母親節(jié)時(shí)，威廉王子和他的家人發(fā)布了一張可愛的全家福，照片中是喬治小王子和他的父母。2018年，英國(guó)王室發(fā)布了一張從未公開過的伊麗莎白女王二世和她的家人的照片，其中包括她所有的孩子和丈夫菲利普親王。這張照片拍攝于1965年，地點(diǎn)是他們私密的住所Frogmore。這就像我們發(fā)個(gè)朋友圈一樣。

4?? ?Spend Time With Their Mothers

4?? ?共度美好時(shí)光

Like all children try and do, the royal family spend time with their respective mothers on this special day. Kate Middleton has been known to spend time with her royal side of the family and then head out to Berkshire to see her own mother, Carole Middleton. Some of the royal family even attend events together with their moms, like Zara Tindall and Princess Anne, who love to attend any and all horse races/shows together in the Spring.

和所有孩子一樣，王室在這一節(jié)日中也會(huì)和母親共度這一天。凱特王妃在當(dāng)天和王室成員待一段時(shí)間后，會(huì)前往伯克郡看望自己的母親Carole Middleton。一些皇室成員甚至和他們的母親一起參加活動(dòng)，如Zara Tindall和Anne公主，她們喜歡在春天一起參加所有的賽馬比賽或表演。

5?? ?Spend Time at Frogmore

5?? ?在Frogmore享受時(shí)光

While the royal family doesn't disclose where they spend time on all of their holidays, they have reportedly spent numerous special occasions at Frogmore House, which is where this Mother's Day photo was taken many moons ago. It's known as a "favorite royal retreat," and it's where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle took their engagement photos and where they live. This is one tradition we can't really relate to since most people don't have multiple estates!

雖然英國(guó)王室沒有透露過他們的假期都在哪里度過，但據(jù)報(bào)道，他們?cè)贔rogmore的別墅里度過了許多值得紀(jì)念的日子，母親節(jié)的照片就是多天前在那里拍攝的。這是“最受歡迎的皇家靜修地”，也是哈里王子和梅根·馬克爾訂婚照的拍攝地，以及他們的住所。這是唯一一個(gè)我們無法做到的，因?yàn)榇蠖鄶?shù)人沒有這么多處房產(chǎn)。

6?? ?Attend Church

6?? ?宗教祭拜

You can't have Mothering Sunday without attending church. Over the years, the queen has been spotted at mass at numerous locations, including churches in Sussex and Windsor, and we wouldn't expect anything less.

如果不參加宗教祭拜，那母親節(jié)就白過了。多年來，女王參加了各地的彌撒，包括蘇塞克斯和溫莎的教堂，而她參加的宗教活動(dòng)肯定遠(yuǎn)不如此。
