哈里夫婦償還鉅額公款

Prince Harry has repaid 2.4 million pounds in British taxpayers' money that was used to renovate the home in Windsor intended for him and his wife Meghan before they gave up royal duties and moved to California, using cash from his recent Netflix deal.
哈里王子和妻子梅根在辭去王室職務、搬去加州之前，曾花費英國納稅人240萬英鎊來重新裝修他們在溫莎莊園的別墅。

A spokesman for the couple said Monday that Harry had made a contribution to the Sovereign Grant, the public money that goes to the royal family. He said the contribution "fully covered the necessary renovation costs of Frogmore Cottage".
近日哈里王子和網飛公司簽約，用拿到的簽約金終於還清了這筆錢。哈里夫婦的發言人9月7日表示，哈里已向“主權基金”支付了一大筆錢，“足夠覆蓋弗羅格莫爾別墅的必要裝修支出”。“主權基金”是英國政府撥給王室的公共經費。

He said Frogmore Cottage will remain the home of Harry and Meghan when they visit the UK.
發言人稱，弗羅格莫爾別墅將繼續作爲哈里夫婦在英國的住所。

Royal accounts for 2019 show that 2.4 million pounds was spent renovating the house, including structural work, rewiring and new flooring.
英國王室2019年的財務報表顯示，弗羅格莫爾別墅翻新的費用是240萬英鎊，包括改變房屋結構、重新鋪設管道、更換地板等。

Harry and Meghan agreed to pay back the money and start paying rent as part of the plans drawn up when they quit as senior working royals in March.
根據哈里夫婦3月簽下的退出王室的協議細節，他們同意償還這筆錢，並支付房租。

They recently bought a house in Santa Barbara, California and last week announced a multi-million pound deal with Netflix to produce a range of films and series for the streaming service.
這對夫妻近日已在美國加州聖巴巴拉市購房，上週他們宣佈與流媒體平臺網飛公司簽下了一個數百萬英鎊的合同，將製作一系列電影和電視劇。
