英国女王迎来“小金曾孙”
爱思英语编者按:伊丽莎白女王即将荣升曾祖母,其外孙彼得·菲利普斯宣布妻子奥特姆已有身孕。 The Queen and Prince Philip (seen here in Canada this week) are said to be delighted The Queen is said to be overjoyed after learning that she is to become a great-grandmother for the first time. Expecting their first child: Peter Phillips and Autumn Kelly leave St George's Chapel in Windsor on their wedding day in May 2008 Although he is 11th in line to the throne, Mr Phillips does not have a royal title as his mother declined to give her children the HRH title at birth. Mrs Phillips was born and brought up a Roman Catholic but renounced her faith shortly before their wedding in May 2008 so her husband-to-be did not have to give up his claim to the throne. The couple are living in Hong Kong where Mr Phillips works in the sponsorship division of the Royal Bank of Scotland. It is not known if they will return to the UK for the birth. Their decision to accept 500,000 from Hello! magazine for exclusive use of photographs of their wedding ceremony - featuring the Queen, Prince Charles, Prince Harry and royal girlfriends Kate Middleton and Chelsy Davy - caused controversy two years ago.
