If there’s one person who believes in following tradition, it’s Queen Elizabeth. The British monarch has been sitting on the throne for an incredible 67 years, and over that length of time, she’s learned which rules are worth breaking and which need to be followed no matter what. 如果说有一个人绝对信奉传统，那就是伊丽莎白女王。这位英国君主已经在位67年之久，这么久的统治时期内，她明白了哪些规矩该打破、哪些规矩无论如何都要遵守。 It’s true that Queen Elizabeth has ushered in quite a few changes over her reign. In a delightfully egalitarian move, she changed the rule that would have placed Prince Louis higher than Princess Charlotte in the line of succession even though she’s older. 伊丽莎白女王统治期间确实做出了一些改变。在令人高兴的主张平等的举措中，她改变了“即使夏洛特公主年长，王位继承顺序也要低于路易王子”的规定。 Now female offspring are considered equal to males and can’t be displaced from their birthright. 现在普遍认为女性后代和男性拥有平等权利，不能被剥夺她们与生俱来的权利。 However, certain rules of the royal family are still strictly upheld. That’s why Queen Elizabeth is getting a little frustrated with Kate Middleton constantly bending the rules, especially since she’ll rule alongside Prince William one day soon. |
