哈里夫妇偿还巨额公款

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辞去王室职务、搬去加州之前，曾花费英国纳税人240万英镑来重新装修他们在温莎庄园的别墅。

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".
近日哈里王子和网飞公司签约，用拿到的签约金终于还清了这笔钱。哈里夫妇的发言人9月7日表示，哈里已向“主权基金”支付了一大笔钱，“足够覆盖弗罗格莫尔别墅的必要装修支出”。“主权基金”是英国政府拨给王室的公共经费。

He said Frogmore Cottage will remain the home of Harry and Meghan when they visit the UK.
发言人称，弗罗格莫尔别墅将继续作为哈里夫妇在英国的住所。

Royal accounts for 2019 show that 2.4 million pounds was spent renovating the house, including structural work, rewiring and new flooring.
英国王室2019年的财务报表显示，弗罗格莫尔别墅翻新的费用是240万英镑，包括改变房屋结构、重新铺设管道、更换地板等。

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.
根据哈里夫妇3月签下的退出王室的协议细节，他们同意偿还这笔钱，并支付房租。

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.
这对夫妻近日已在美国加州圣巴巴拉市购房，上周他们宣布与流媒体平台网飞公司签下了一个数百万英镑的合同，将制作一系列电影和电视剧。
