The Prince of Wales is on a significant foreign visit to Saudi Arabia.

威爾斯親王正在進行一趟重要的沙烏地阿拉伯外訪。

Hosted by the country's controversial leader.

由該國備受爭議的領導人接待。

The three day trip requested by the British government aims to strengthen ties with a key Middle Eastern ally and a major regional player.

這趟為期三天的行程是應英國政府的要求，旨在加強與這位中東重要盟友及地區重要參與者的關係。

With these pictures just in of the Prince and the Saudi women's national youth team taking part in a training session ahead of the visit, the Prince and Princess of Wales issued their first public statement around the Geoffrey Estate Epstein scandal, saying they were deeply concerned by the continued revelations.

隨著威廉王子與沙烏地阿拉伯女子國家青年隊參與訓練的畫面剛出爐，威廉王子和威爾斯王妃就傑佛瑞·愛潑斯坦醜聞發表了他們的第一份公開聲明，表示他們對持續不斷的揭露深感憂慮。

It is a story that has continued to follow him on this trip.

這個故事一直跟隨著他這次的行程。

Sir, to what extent do you think the Royal Family has done enough around the Andrew and Epstein issue?

先生，您認為英國皇室在安德魯與愛潑斯坦事件上做得夠多嗎？

So, as you can see, there absolutely no acknowledgment or response to that question from Prince William, but

所以，正如您所見，威廉王子對這個問題完全沒有任何承認或回應，但是

Joining me now is Alistair Burt, former Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister for the Middle East.

現在加入我們的是前中東外交及聯邦事務大臣阿利斯泰爾·伯特。

First, can you explain the power of sending Prince William to Saudi Arabia, what a deployment like that represents?

首先，您能解釋一下派遣威廉王子前往沙烏地阿拉伯的意義嗎？這樣的部署代表了什麼？

The monarchy means a great deal, obviously in Saudi Arabia.

君主制意義重大，這在沙烏地阿拉伯顯而易見。

There's monarchical rule in Saudi Arabia, where there is a constitutional monarchy in the United Kingdom.

沙烏地阿拉伯是君主統治，而英國是君主立憲制。

But both Prince William and the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia are both Crown Princes, heirs to the throne.

但威廉王子和沙烏地阿拉伯的王儲都是王儲，都是王位繼承人。

And the Royal Family has a long history of connection with Saudi Arabia.

英國皇室與沙烏地阿拉伯有著長久的淵源。

Actually, the Queen visited Prince Charles as he then was visited a number of times.

其實，女王當時還有威廉王子，都曾多次訪問。

And the importance of a royal visit, the opportunity for states to talk to each other and display a growing relationship, which it is still in many ways, despite it being historic.

還有皇室訪問的重要性，是國家之間交流並展現日益增長的關係的機會，這在很多方面至今仍然如此，儘管是歷史性的。

They are both Princes, but he is a tricky and controversial figure.

他們都是親王，但他是一個棘手且有爭議的人物。

The Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman, how would Prince William have been told to, and

王儲穆罕默德·賓·沙爾曼，你認為威廉王子會被如何告知，

how would he have handled their private dinner last night, do you think?

以及他昨晚的私人晚宴會如何處理呢？

Well, firstly, don't in any way forget that His Royal Highness would have been extremely well briefed.

嗯，首先，請別忘了，殿下一定事先被充分告知了。

I was lucky enough to accompany the Prince of Wales, as he then was on three visits to the Middle east and he was very well briefed, gets the same briefing as the Foreign Secretary and, and

我很幸運能陪同當時的威爾斯親王三次訪問中東，他事先被充分告知，得到的訓示和外交大臣一樣，而且，而且

And I would be very surprised if Prince William was not in exactly the same position.

我會非常驚訝，如果威廉王子不是處於同樣的狀況。

He will know about the history of the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia, he will know about the region, what's happening at the moment, the changes that have taken place in Saudi Arabia and his history.

他會知道沙烏地阿拉伯王儲的歷史，他會知道這個地區，目前正在發生的事，沙烏地阿拉伯發生的轉變以及他的歷史。

it won't be the dominant part of the conversation which will revolve around the mutual interests of the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia and some of the new things that have been happening.

這不會是談話的主要內容，談話將圍繞著英國和沙烏地阿拉伯的共同利益，以及一些正在發生的新事物。

Yes, but he's been such a passionate advocate.

是的，但他一直是如此熱情的倡導者。

Prince William for women in sport, girls in sport.

威廉王子在女子運動、女孩運動方面。

That's something he talks about all the time.

Very sensitive, that topic in Saudi Arabia.

在沙烏地阿拉伯，這個話題非常敏感。

We've just seen him with pictures there with the Saudi women's women's football team.

我們剛看到他和沙烏地阿拉伯女子足球隊的合照。

Would he have waded into that in the dinner, do you think?

Or does he stand back and stay away from some of those things that are more diplomatically sensitive?

還是他會退居幕後，迴避那些比較敏感的外交議題？

Think your phrase weighed into that probably doesn't adequately describe a formal dinner.

我想「介入」這個詞可能無法充分形容一場正式的晚宴。

He will have private time with the Crown Prince.

他會有和王儲私下交流的時間。

He will always be accompanied by the ambassador and other officials.

他身邊一定會有大使和其他官員陪同。

Stephen Hitchin, the ambassador, is well versed in the region.

大使史蒂芬·希欽對這個地區非常熟悉。

There'll be opportunities for private conversation, but

it's not the sort of thing that would dominate a dinner and you wouldn't expect it to.

這不會是晚宴上的重點，你也不會期待是這樣。

The Prince of Wales is not the government of the United Kingdom.

He's there on a government visit, of course, but

there are other ways in which the UK constantly press human rights and other issues.

英國還有其他方式持續關注人權和其他議題。

And I did notice a statement for Amnesty today talking about one of the current issues, the case of Ahmed Aldous.

我注意到 Amnesty 今天發表了一份聲明，談論到目前的一個議題，也就是 Ahmed Aldous 的案子。

They recognize Prince William's particular sensitivity in these areas, his understanding of them, and

他們知道威廉王子在這些方面特別敏感，也很瞭解這些議題，

that will stand the UK and others in good stead when those issues come up.

當這些議題出現時，這對英國和其他國家都會很有幫助。

Can I ask you, in your view, your opinion, how damaging these allegations are about Andrew Mountbatten Windsor around Jeffrey Epstein?

我可以問你，在你認為，你的意見，關於安德魯·蒙巴頓-溫莎與傑佛瑞·愛潑斯坦的這些指控有多傷人？

I mean, Prince William was asked about them then.

我是說，威廉王子當時也被問到了。

We could see that quite clearly, didn't even acknowledge the question.

我們很清楚地看到了，他甚至沒有回應這個問題。

But in terms of the Royal family, the brand of the royal family abroad, how damaging has this been?

但就英國皇室、英國皇室在海外的品牌形象來說，這造成了多大的傷害？

I think the, the responses of His Majesty the King, the action His Majesty the King has taken in relation to the former Prince Andrew, will have been noticed and recognized by everyone.

我認為，國王陛下對前安德魯王子所採取的行動，每個人都會注意到並認可。

And he has not been shy in being forthcoming about how he has seen the issue.

他也很坦率地說明瞭他對這件事的看法。

His concern about the, the, the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and the Prince of Wales, I, I'm absolutely certain will feel exactly the same of this.

我非常確定，他對傑佛瑞·愛潑斯坦受害者以及威爾斯親王的關切，感受也會完全相同。

People will know that this is an important matter, but

人們會知道這是一件重要的事，但是

how it's been dealt with by the monarchy in the UK is important.

英國君主制如何處理這件事也很重要。

And I don't think they've been shy in saying exactly what they think.

我不認為他們會有所保留，會說出他們心裡想的。

But again, it won't dominate the conversation here.

但話說回來，這不會主導這裡的對話。

It's a difficult region in which Saudi Arabia is crucially important to the stability of the region, whether it's in relation to Iran or the future of Palestine, Gaza and Israel.

這是一個艱難的地區，沙烏地阿拉伯對該地區的穩定至關重要，無論是與伊朗的關係，還是巴勒斯坦、加沙和以色列的未來。

So those matters will be discussed, as well as some of the cultural things, like the women's football, like the World Heritage Centre is going to see, and

所以這些事情都會被討論，還有一些文化方面的事情，像是女子足球，還有世界遺產中心將要看到的，

the opportunities between us for investment and certainly for the transformation of Saudi Arabia's energy sector, in which the United Kingdom is going to play a significant part.

我們之間在投資方面的機會，當然還有沙烏地阿拉伯能源轉型方面的機會，英國將在其中扮演重要角色。

These will be a major part of the conversation.

很高興能和您談話，阿利斯泰爾。
