It Could Be Another Decade Before Prince Charles Becomes King

查爾斯王子是王室中最傑出的成員之一。作為英國曆史上在位時間最長的法定繼承人,他幾乎一生都在等待國王的位置。但事實證明,他可能要再等一段時間才能成為國王查爾斯三世(或國王喬治七世,一些專家認為,他將在阿森松島更名)。

儘管查爾斯王子一生中大部分時間——尤其是最近十年——都在為未來在王室中的地位做準備,但他繼承王位的時間可能不會倒計時。畢竟,為了讓他成為國王,他深愛的母親(也是英國在位時間最長的君主)必須去世或下臺(她不會這樣做),才能讓他登上王位。

Although he has spent much of his life — especially the last decade — preparing for his future position in the royal family, Prince Charles is likely not counting down the days。After all, in order for him to become king, his beloved mother (and Britain’s longest-reigning monarch) would have to die or step down (which she won’t) in order for him to ascend the throne。

然而,隨著女王90多歲,許多人開始想知道查爾斯王子何時會成為國王。雖然沒有人能100%預測伊麗莎白女王何時去世,但一些人認為,英國可能還要再過十年才會有新國王。

However, with the queen in her 90s, many are beginning to wonder when Prince Charles will become king。And while no one can predict 100% when Queen Elizabeth will die, some believe it could be another decade before Britain has a king。

查爾斯王子什麼時候會成為國王?

在她年老的時候,伊麗莎白女王可能會放慢腳步,把她的一些皇室職責移交給皇室成員。然而,根據專家的說法,她不會去任何地方——至少在未來10年內不會。“女王身體硬朗,”她的前發言人迪基·阿比瑟(Dickie仲裁者)在2018年對《人物》雜誌(People)說。“她只有92歲——她母親去世時101歲。所以我們可能至少在未來10年內都不會考慮這個問題。”自他與該雜誌的談話以來,女王已經93歲了,並開展了一次大型慶祝活動(女王每年過兩次生日,此處的both就是用來之那兩次生日,但女王做了一次大型生日慶祝活動)。

由於王室成員的壽命都很長,而且女王健康的生活習慣,女王陛下可能會活到101歲、102歲,甚至很可能是103歲。

When will Prince Charles become king?

In her old age, Queen Elizabeth might be slowing down and pawning off some of her royal duties to members of the royal family。However, according to experts, she’s not going anywhere — at least for another 10 years。

“The queen is hale and hearty,” her former spokesman, Dickie Arbiter told People in 2018。“She is only 92 — her mother was 101 when she died。So we’re probably not even thinking about this for another decade at least,” he added。Since his conversation with the publication, the queen has turned 93 and celebrated one of two birthday celebrations。

Thanks to her family’s longevity and the queen’s healthy habits, Her Majesty could live to be 101, 102, and, quite possibly even 103。
