查爾斯國王的私人接見

Despite his absence from the public ceremony, King Charles continued to fulfill his official duties privately at Buckingham Palace. He received ambassadors Epimeni Bapfinda of Burundi and Ruslan Bolbocean of Moldova, who presented Letters of Recall and Letters of Credence, respectively.

儘管缺席了公開儀式，查爾斯國王仍繼續在白金漢宮私下履行其官方職責。他接見了布隆迪大使埃皮梅尼·巴普芬達和摩爾多瓦大使魯斯蘭·博爾博辛，他們分別遞交了召回書和國書。

Ancient Tradition Continues

古老的傳統仍在延續

Queen Camilla, adorned in regal attire, meticulously distributed gifts of "Maundy Money" on behalf of herself and King Charles to 75 men and 75 women. This time-honored tradition, dating back to the 7th century, symbolizes the monarch's commitment to serving and caring for their subjects. Each recipient received two coin purses: one white, containing custom silver Maundy coins, and one red, housing a £5 coin featuring the Tudor Dragon and a 50 pence coin commemorating the Royal National Lifeboat Institution's bicentennial anniversary.

卡蜜拉王后身著王冠，代表她本人和查爾斯國王精心向 75 名男士和 75 名女士分發了「濯足錢」禮物。這一歷史悠久的傳統可以追溯到七世紀，象徵著君主服務和照顧臣民的承諾。每位獲獎者都會收到兩個零錢包：一個是白色的，裡面裝有定制的濯足迪銀幣；另一個是紅色的，裡面裝有一枚印有都鐸龍圖案的5 英鎊硬幣和一枚紀念皇家國家救生艇機構200 週年紀念的50 便士硬幣。

Historical Significance

歷史意義

By participating in the Royal Maundy Service, Queen Camilla etched her name in the annals of history as the first consort to lead this cherished tradition. The monarchy traces its involvement in this ceremony to the teachings of Jesus Christ, who, according to the Gospel of John, washed the feet of his disciples as an act of humility and service.

透過參加皇家濯足節儀式，卡蜜拉女王作為第一位領導這項珍貴傳統的王后，將自己的名字載入史冊。君主制將其參與這一儀式追溯到耶穌基督的教義，根據約翰福音，耶穌為門徒洗腳是一種謙卑和服務的行為。

King Charles' Message

查理國王的訊息

Although physically absent, King Charles addressed the congregation through a poignant audio message. "It is, for me, a great sadness that I cannot be with you all today," he conveyed. "The Maundy Service has a very special place in my heart. It has its origin in the life of Our Lord who knelt before his disciples and, to their great surprise, washed their travel-weary feet."

儘管查爾斯國王本人缺席，但他還是透過一段令人心酸的音頻向會眾發表了演講。他表示：“對我來說，今天不能和大家在一起是一種巨大的悲傷。” 「濯足禮拜在我心中佔有非常特殊的地位。它起源於主的一生，主跪在門徒面前，令他們驚訝的是，他為他們洗了旅途勞頓的腳。”

Upcoming Easter Service

即將到來的復活節服務

Despite his current health challenges, King Charles is expected to participate in the traditional Easter Mattins Service at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle this Sunday. This event, typically attended by the monarch and members of the royal family, will be scaled back in accordance with medical advice to minimize the King's contact with others during his treatment.

儘管目前健康狀況不佳，查爾斯國王預計仍將參加本週日在溫莎城堡聖喬治教堂舉行的傳統復活節晨禱。這項活動通常由君主和王室成員參加，但將根據醫療建議縮減規模，以盡量減少國王在治療期間與其他人的接觸。

Royal Family's Shared Diagnosis

王室成員的共同診斷

Notably, King Charles is not the only member of the royal family grappling with cancer. His daughter-in-law, Catherine, Princess of Wales, revealed her own diagnosis last Friday. Both individuals are currently undergoing treatment and receiving support from their loved ones and medical professionals.

值得注意的是，查爾斯國王並不是唯一一位與癌症作鬥爭的王室成員。他的媳婦威爾斯王妃凱瑟琳上週五透露了自己的診斷結果。兩人目前正在接受治療，並得到親人和醫療專業人員的支持。
