哈里王子特別感謝第二次世界大戰的老將約瑟夫·哈蒙德

隨著英國本周慶祝VE日的慶祝活動，哈里王子（Prince Harry）向一位退伍軍人提供了自己的特別感謝。

As the U.K. celebrates VE Day this week, Prince Harry is sending his own special thanks to a fellow military veteran.

隨著英國本周慶祝VE日的慶祝活動，哈里王子（Prince Harry）向一位退伍軍人提供了自己的特別感謝。

Private Joseph Hammond, a World War II veteran from Ghana, was honored by the Duke of Sussex ahead of his 100th birthday on Saturday. Hammond shared in a May 7 post on X that he met ambassadors from the Invictus Games, which Harry founded, and received a related gift.

來自加納的第二次世界大戰資深人士約瑟夫·哈蒙德（Joseph Hammond）在周六的100週年之前就受到了蘇塞克斯公爵的尊敬。哈蒙德（Hammond）在5月7日在X上的帖子中分享了他遇到了哈利（Harry）創立的Invictus Games的大使，並收到了相關禮物。

“It was a great honour to welcome the @WeAreInvictus team to Ghana, just ahead of my birthday this Saturday!” Hammond shared. “I was honoured to receive the Invictus Medal Coin from #PrinceHarry."

“很榮幸歡迎@weareinvictus團隊來到加納，就在這個星期六的生日前！”哈蒙德分享了。 “我很榮幸從#PrinceHarry那裡獲得Invictus獎章。”

In return, Hammond said that he gifted Prince Harry with a copy of his memoir, “in recognition of his unwavering commitment to veterans’ welfare.”

作為回報，哈蒙德說，他給哈利王子贈送了他的回憶錄的副本，“以表彰他對退伍軍人福利的堅定承諾。”

Hammond first met Prince Harry in 2019 when the royal family hosted an event to honor veterans from the British Commonwealth. Hammond served as a mechanic in Myanmar — then known as Burma — during the Second World War, fighting alongside British troops.

哈蒙德（Hammond）於2019年首次與哈里王子（Prince Harry）會面，當時王室舉辦了一場活動，以紀念英聯邦的退伍軍人。在第二次世界大戰期間，哈蒙德（Hammond）在緬甸（當時稱為緬甸）擔任機械師，與英軍一起戰鬥。

“This man, especially, Prince Harry, I glued myself to him because he is also a soldier, he’s been to Afghanistan, and we spoke about the military, my battalion,” he said at the time. “We exchanged ideas. It was wonderful.”

他說：“這個人，尤其是哈里王子，我把自己粘在他身上，因為他也是士兵，他去過阿富汗，我們談到了軍隊，我的營。” “我們交換了想法。這真是太好了。”

The following year, Hammond embarked on a grueling 14-mile walk to raise money for frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. He later received a letter from Prince Harry praising his efforts.

次年，哈蒙德（Hammond）踏上了一條艱苦的14英里步行路程，在19日大流行期間為前線工人籌集資金。後來，他收到了哈里王子的來信，稱讚他的努力。

"Even at ’95 years young,’ I imagine it was not an easy task,” Harry wrote. “However, given the service and selflessness you have demonstrated throughout your life, it does not surprise me that you would take on a challenge such as this – and that you wanted to walk even more miles. As you said yourself, it is amazing!"

哈利寫道：“即使在'95歲的時候，我想這也不是一件容易的事。” “但是，鑑於您一生都表現出的服務和無私，這並不令我感到驚訝的是，您會承擔這樣的挑戰 - 並且您想走更多的英里。

Harry also sent Hammond the “warmest wishes” from himself and his wife, Meghan Markle, noting that it was a privilege to have met his fellow veteran the year prior.

哈利還向哈蒙德（Hammond）送出了自己和他的妻子梅根·馬克爾（Meghan Markle）的“最熱烈的願望”，並指出，一年來認識他的老兵是一種榮幸。

“It was an honour and a pleasure to meet you at the Field of Remembrance in London last year,” he said, adding that Hammond had set a “fine example to the world.”

他說：“去年在倫敦的紀念領域與您會面是一種榮幸和榮幸，”他補充說，哈蒙德為世界樹立了一個“很好的榜樣”。

This week, the British royal family has attended several celebrations in honor of the 80th anniversary of VE Day, which marks the end of World War II.

本週，英國王室參加了幾次慶祝活動，以紀念VE日誕生80週年，這標誌著第二次世界大戰的終結。

On Monday, May 5, King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, Prince Louis and more working royals attended a military procession and aerial flypast to kick off the festivities.

5月5日，星期一，查爾斯國王，卡米拉皇后，威廉王子，凱特·米德爾頓，喬治王子，夏洛特公主，路易斯王子和更多工作皇室成員參加了軍事遊行和空中飛機，以開始慶祝活動。

Prince George also marked the event with a royal first: attending a tea party for World War II veterans at Buckingham Palace.

喬治王子還以王室的第一名標記了這項活動：參加白金漢宮的第二次世界大戰退伍軍人的茶會。

The Prince and Princess of Wales' eldest son follows his father as second in line to the throne. At the tea party, he similarly mirrored his dad’s role, sitting beside him just as he often does at public events (including Aston Villa soccer matches!) and joining both his parents in greeting and thanking the gathered veterans.

威爾士王子和公主的長子跟隨他的父親在王位上排名第二。在茶話會上，他同樣反映了父親的角色，就像他在公共活動中經常（包括阿斯頓維拉足球比賽！）一樣坐在他旁邊，並與他的父母一起問候並感謝聚集的退伍軍人。

A palace insider previously spoke with PEOPLE about William and Kate's approach to raising George as future king, calling it "a massive balancing act."

宮殿的內部人士此前曾與人們談到威廉和凱特（William）和凱特（Kate）提高喬治（George）為未來的國王的方法，稱其為“龐大的平衡行為”。

"William and Kate are doing the right thing, protecting him so he can have as normal a childhood as possible, but he's also dipping into duties as a future monarch," the insider said. He's getting firsthand experience of what it's like to be a royal and a monarch and firsthand experience of being a normal boy."

內部人士說：“威廉和凱特正在做正確的事，保護他，以便他可以盡可能正常地度過童年，但他也像未來的君主那樣扮演職責。”他正在獲得自己成為皇家，君主和第一手成為正常男孩的經歷的第一手經驗。 ”
