Why It Matters

哈利王子與梅根此前因放棄王室職務移居美國,現隨子女返回英國定居。英王查爾斯三世致函政府澄清兩人身份,以避免其回英後被誤解為仍具王室官方角色。

英國哈利王子(Prince Harry)與妻子梅根(Meghan)和一對兒女搬回英國,英國國王查爾斯(King Charles III)致函英國政府表示,兩人非王室成員,所有慈善活動,都將以私人公民身分進行,這封信件的曝光令哈利夫妻措手不及。

據《美聯社》報導,放棄王室職務並移居美國已有6年後,英國哈利王子與妻子梅根偕一對兒女搬回英國,一封由英王查爾斯批准的信件向英國政府高級官員表示,哈利夫妻搬回英國後,不會改變身分,仍非王室在職成員。

他們不得使用「殿下」頭銜(His/Her Royal Highness),並且仍屬「擁有商業及慈善利益的私人公民」,至於實際的維安安排,則由相關警察機關負責決定。

一名了解相關討論的人士透露,英王查爾斯三世的信函向媒體公開時,讓哈利與梅根措手不及,部分原因是兩人在信函公布前,幾乎沒有多少時間審閱內容或提出回應。

知情人士指出,哈利與梅根的代表是在信函提供給各家新聞媒體的1小時12分鐘前,才收到信函副本。由於當時哈利正在開會,他們一直無法與哈利取得聯繫,直到信函正式公開前僅僅2分鐘才聯絡上他,因此幾乎沒有時間作出回應。

報導指出,這由英王批准的信及哈利夫妻對信函的反應,也凸顯出他們重返英國所引發的緊張關係。

部分王室觀察人士擔憂,哈利與梅根人在英國,可能讓他們建立起某種形式的「平行王室」(parallel royal court),進而與目前實際履行公務的王室成員形成競爭。

US aircraft ships leave the Indo-Pacific for the Middle East. Experts: This does not mean that the ability to deter Taiwan has disappeared.

The two aircraft carriers currently deployed by the United States in East Asia, the USS Washington and the USS Lincoln, have successively left the Indo-Pacific to perform missions in the Middle East, leaving no US aircraft carrier currently stationed in the Indo-Pacific. Experts point out that although the temporary absence of aircraft ships may enhance the outside world's perception that the United States is distracted by the Middle East, the presence of aircraft ships cannot be used alone to judge the U.S. military's ability to deter the Taiwan Strait, and the U.S. military still has dispatch capabilities. For example, during the Taiwan Strait missile crisis in 1996, it dispatched aircraft ships from the Middle East to the vicinity of the Taiwan Strait.

Taichung Qingquangang Air Force Base was closed due to drone intrusion and 8 fighter jets were diverted to Hsinchu

Taichung Qingquangang Air Force Base was forced to close last night due to drone intrusion into the surrounding airspace, causing eight IDF Ching Kuo fighter jets performing night flight training to divert to Hsinchu Air Force Base. A flight from Macau to Taichung at Taichung International Airport was affected and landed after circling in the air. The Civil Aviation Administration of China reminded that the activities of remote-controlled drones are restricted around the airport, and illegal operations may result in fines of 300,000 to 1.5 million yuan. It also called on the public to use the official information app or query system before taking off to avoid penalties. As of the end of June this year, Taiwan had 36,066 valid drone licenses and 42,016 registered drones.
