✏Behind the scenes, however, being a princess wasn’t as ✏glamorous as it seemed. In a documentary that ✏aired in October 2019, Meghan said that adjusting to royal life had been hard, and that the intense scrutiny of Britain’s ✏tabloid media was 🔎taking a toll on her mental and physical health. But the biggest shock was still to come. In January 2020, after returning from a six-week stay in Canada, Harry and Meghan announced that they would be stepping away from their duties as senior royals—a move dubbed “Megxit” by the tabloid media.
不過，在螢幕之外，當王妃並不如表面上風光。在2019年十月播放的紀錄片中，梅根表示，適應王室生活一直不是件容易的事，英國八卦小報的緊迫盯人也對她的身心健康造成負擔。然而，最勁爆的事還在後頭。2020年一月，在加拿大度過六週假期回到英國後，哈利與梅根夫婦宣布退出英國王室的高級成員職責──這個宣言被八卦媒體稱為「梅根脫英」。

While there was much ✏speculation about Harry and Meghan’s motives at the time, the reasons became clear in a ✏bombshell March 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey in Montecito, California, where the couple now live in a recently purchased $14 million mansion. In the interview, Meghan said that the great pressure she was under caused her to have suicidal thoughts. “I just didn’t want to be alive anymore,” she said. Yet when she asked the palace staff about seeking treatment, she was told that it “wouldn’t be good for the institution.” Perhaps even more shocking, Meghan revealed that within the royal family, there were “concerns and conversations about how dark Archie’s skin might be when he’s born.”
雖然當時對哈利梅根此舉背後的動機有諸多臆測，但真正的理由隨著2021年三月兩夫婦向歐普拉爆料後水落石出。錄製此訪談的地點剛好位在兩夫婦最近以1400萬美元購買的豪宅，加州蒙特斯托。訪談中梅根表示，巨大壓力使她萌生自殺念頭。「我就是不想活了。」然而她向王室工作人員尋求協助時，卻僅被告知「這對王室不利。」更令人震驚的是，梅根透露，王室成員對於亞契的膚色會不會太黑有諸多疑慮。

In a statement released after the Oprah interview, Queen Elizabeth said, “The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. While some ✏recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.”
隨著歐普拉訪談秀播出之後，伊莉莎白女王二世做出回應：「他們所提出的問題令人關切，尤其是種族問題。雖然部分回憶可能彼此有所出入，但王室會認真看待並私下處理。」

Opinion | US Secretary of State is violating the Law of Safeguarding National Security in Hong Kong

HK Current

20th of October 2020

By Athena Kung

On 14th of October 2020 [US time], a report was released by the United States (hereinafter refer to as "the US") Secretary of State (hereinafter referred to as "the said Report") under the so-called "Hong Kong Autonomy Act". During recent months, the US Government has been increasingly blatant in its interference in Hong Kong's affairs. Its petty actions included passing successive laws, pronouncing an executive order and imposing 'sanctions' against HKSAR Government's officials under the pretext of so-called "human rights", "democracy" and "autonomy".

In short, the accusations against the HKSAR Government contained in the said Report are all groundless, unwarranted and irresponsible. All the comments in the said Report are really smearing and demonising The Law of the People's Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the HKSAR (hereinafter referred to as "National Security Law"). Being the highest organ of state power, the National People's Congress (hereinafter referred to as "the NPC") has lawfully authorized the Standing Committee of the NPC (hereinafter referred to as "the SCNPC") to formulate relevant laws on establishing the legal system and enforcement mechanisms for the HKSAR to safeguard the national security. Thus, the enactment of the National Security Law on 30th of June 2020 by the SCNPC is both lawful and constitutional.

Before the implementation of the National Security Law, due to the fear towards the violence exercised by the rioters who supported HK independence, majority of the HK citizens did not dare to voice out their opinions whenever their views was against that of the rioters. Only the riots were able to enjoy the freedom of speech during the whole period of Black Power Anti-government Movement. However, since the National Security Law has come into effect, stability can be restored in the HKSAR step by step, whereas once again, HK citizens are able to enjoy their basic rights and freedoms in accordance with the law as before. All along, the US Government has embellished the violence and illegal acts exercised by the rioters who are wrongfully beautified as democracy warrior. The ulterior motives behind was US Government's great desire to build up a pro-American Government in HK by promoting Colour Revolution here. With the success of promoting HK Independence, the US may make use of HK as a Bridgehead to attack PRC whose Great Rejuvenation might then be hindered.

Recently, US has also imposed certain "sanctions" on financial institutions and HKSAR Government officials, which is another concrete evidence proving the hegemony on the part of US. The US Government has been exerting pressure on financial institutions and HKSAR Government officials so as to threaten the officials not to pass any law or policies which the US Government dislike. By so doing, the US Secretary of State is clearly violating 2 areas of the National Security Law, including:
(1) Secession under Article 20(1), namely participating in separating the HKSAR from the PRC by with a view to committing secession or undermining national unification whether or not by force or threat of force ; and
(2) Subversion under Article 22(3), namely participating in seriously interfering in, disrupting, or undermining the performance of duties and functions in accordance with the law by the body of power of the HKSAR by force or threat of force or other unlawful means with a view to subverting the State.
Is the National Security Law applicable to the US Secretary of State? The answer is positive. Under Article 38, the National Security Law shall apply to offences under this Law committed against the HKSAR from outside the Region by a person who is not a permanent resident of the Region.

In addition, according to Article 55 of the National Security Law, it is appropriate for the national security case of the US Secretary of State to be taken up by the Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR (hereinafter referred to as "the Office"):
"Article 55
The Office for Safeguarding National Security of the Central People's Government in the HKSAR shall, upon approval by the Central People's Government of a request made by the Government of the HKSAR or by the Office itself, exercise jurisdiction over a case concerning offence endangering national security under this law, if:
(1) the case is complex due to the involvement of a foreign country or external elements, thus making it difficult for the Region to exercise jurisdiction over the case ;
(2) a serious situation occurs where the Government of the Region is unable to effectively enforce this law ; or
(3) a major and imminent threat to national security has occurred."

No doubt, with the involvement of the US Secretary of State who enjoys a high weight in the US Government in a national security case, the whole case would definitely become very complex as a result of existence of such an external element. After all, it would be extremely difficult for the HKSAR Government to exercise jurisdiction over the case, for instance, in the areas of collecting evidence and making necessary investigations. Under such circumstances, it is necessary for the Office to take up this case and exercise jurisdiction over it.
