"Story of Yanxi Palace" is a Chinese period drama set in the 18th century during the Qing dynasty, and topped Google's list for the most-trending TV series worldwide. The South China Morning Post reports that in Hong Kong, people were more curious about the drama than they were about the US-China trade war or Typhoon Mangkhut.
中国时代剧《延禧攻略》近日登顶谷歌全球电视剧热搜榜。据《南华早报》报道，比起中美贸易战和台风"山竹"，香港人更关心这部以18世纪清朝为背景的电视剧的剧情。

Worldwide, there was a bigger spike in searches for the Chinese series compared to Netflix's offerings, including "Altered Carbon" and "The Haunting of Hill House". The show has been streamed more than 15 billion times on iQiyi, China's leading video website and was the most watched series online in China for 39 consecutive days.
在世界范围内，《延禧攻略》的搜索量增幅也超过了《碳变》、《鬼入侵》等奈飞平台的电视剧。《延禧攻略》在国内主要视频网站爱奇艺上的播放量超过150亿次，连续39天高居国内全网电视剧播放量榜首。

Kate and Meghan 'truce'
女王下令梅根凯特休战?

Kate and Meghan have been ordered by the Queen to put on a show of unity together at the Christmas Day church service in Sandringham, British media reported. Her Royal Highness and Prince Charles allegedly made it clear that any rift between the two duchesses must be kept out of the public eye as they arrived together at the St Mary Magdalene Church.
据英国媒体报道，女王命令凯特和梅根在桑德林汉姆庄园出席圣诞节教堂礼拜活动时必须以和睦形象示人。据称，女王以及查尔斯王子明确指示，两位公爵夫人一起抵达圣玛丽抹大拉教堂时，绝对不能在公众面前表现出任何不和的迹象。

The two appeared to take the advice on board as they were seen laughing and joking while photographers captured the pair walking towards the church. A source told The Sun: "The Queen and Charles have allowed the situation to play out without overtly interfering - but they both made it clear that Christmas was for the whole family to really come together."
两人看似听从了建议，当摄影师拍摄她们一起走进教堂的画面时，两人表现得有说有笑。一位消息人士告诉《太阳报》："虽然女王和查尔斯王子对两人不和的传闻一直睁一只眼闭一只眼，但两人都明确表示，圣诞节是全家团聚的日子。"

Rumors of the feud surfaced when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they were moving out of Kensington Palace to live in Frogmore House in Windsor. There were also reports of a falling out between Meghan and Kate during Princess Charlotte's bridesmaid dress fitting before the royal wedding earlier this year.
凯特和梅根的不和传闻最早是在苏赛克斯公爵夫妇宣布将搬出肯辛顿宫、迁往温莎的弗罗格莫尔别墅居住时出现的。还有报道称，今年早些时候哈里和梅根大婚前夕，梅根和凯特因为夏洛特公主试穿伴娘礼服一事发生了争吵。
