Among the many upsides to being British royalty, there is this: You never have to use a last name. For one thing, everyone already knows who you are. There’s only one Queen, for instance, so it’s not like Elizabeth has to specify which one she is.
在众多成为英国皇室成员的好处中,有一个是:你从来不需要用姓氏。如果你是皇室成员,每一个人都认识你。女王只有一位,比如,伊丽莎白从来不要说明谁是伊丽莎白。
However, the British royal family does have a last name, as Business Insider reminds us. The British royal family’s last name is technically Windsor, but that’s a relatively new development.
然而,Business Insider 网站提醒我们,皇室家族其实是有姓氏的。实际上英国皇室成员的姓氏严格来说叫 Windsor,只是我们不熟悉而已。
Before 1917, royals were usually known by the territory they ruled or the Royal House of which they were a member, as the Royal Family’s website explains. For example: The full name of Queen Victoria’s eldest son, King Edward VII, was Albert Edward Saxe-Coburg-Gotha—a mouthful he inherited from his father, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
皇室的网站解释说,1917 年之前,每一位皇室成员不仅互相认识,在他们通知的领土上也被人熟知。举个例子:维多利亚女王的长子 King Edward VII 全名叫做 Albert Edward Saxe-Coburg-Gotha,这个名字则完全继承了他父亲 Albert Saxe-Coburg-Gotha 王子的名字。
