Why Royal Family Never Provided Their John Hancock為什么英國王室從不給人親筆簽名，原因是……

If you were hoping to get your James Mountbatten-Windsor,Viscount Severn rookie card signed anytime soon, you’re out of luck.

If you were hoping to get an autograph①autograph 英 ['??t?grɑ?f] 美 ['?t?ɡr?f] n. 親筆，手稿；親筆簽名vt. 親筆簽名于……；親筆書寫from anyone in the royal family tree, you’d still be out of luck.

The royal family is banned from providing their John Hancock to just anybody for a sound reason.

It is possible to purchase an autograph from a Queen Elizabeth,just not the current Queen Elizabeth.

A document bearing Queen Elizabeth I's signature dating back to 1599 is available for purchase for $27,500, or 21,406 pound sterling.

So if you're hoping to impersonate⑤impersonate 英 [?m'p??s(?)ne?t]美 [?m'p?s?net] vt. 扮演；模仿；擬人，人格化a long dead monarch, this is your best bet.

There are certain exceptions to this rule, however. If members of the royal family are attending an offi cial event with a guest book,they are free to sign.

如果你想要詹姆斯·溫莎塞文子爵簽名的新秀卡，很不幸這根本不可能。

如果你還想要王室成員的親筆簽名，很不幸，因為這也不可能。

王室成員禁止向任何人提供簽名，原因是非常有道理的。

據《太陽報》稱，之所以禁止王室人員給人簽名，是為了防止潛在的偽造者模仿王室成員的字跡。

現在可以購買到伊麗莎白女王的親筆簽名，但不是現任的這位女王。

一份帶有女王伊麗莎白一世簽名的文件可以追溯到1599年，如今能夠以27500美元（21406英鎊）的價格購買到。

如果你想冒充已故幾百年的君主，那這是最佳選擇。

但是也有例外的時候，如果王室成員參加有貴賓冊的官方活動，這時是可以簽字的。

And Prince Charles broke the rule back in 2010 when he wrote his name down on a scrap of paper for a victim of a fl ood in Cornwall.

2010年，查爾斯王子曾為一位在康沃爾洪水中遇難的人打破了規矩，在一小張紙上寫下了自己的名字。
