摘要

虽然历史学家通常把威廉·亨利王子在被占领的纽约市(1781年9月26日至1782年11月4日)的生活描述为美国独立战争的一个有趣的插曲,或者是这位未来国王青春期的一个短暂插曲,但这位王室成员在新大陆的生活却有更多值得揭示的地方。作为第一个访问殖民地美洲的英国王室成员,这位16岁的王子处在一个混乱但重要的两分体的交汇处:对于保皇派来说,王子定义了君主制援助的梦想如何与殖民地美洲王室影响力下降的现实发生冲突,而爱国者也利用他来维护他们对共和自由的幻想,同时痛斥英国汉诺威君主制的缺点。最终,威廉王子在殖民地美洲的出现既让人困惑,也让人明白,当13个殖民地的君主统治逐渐被同样混乱的美国共和主义观念所取代时,迫使所有相关各方面对革命的混乱。

A Royal in Revolutionary America: Prince William Henry and the Fall of the British Empire in Colonial America
abstract:Although historians have generally framed Prince William Henry’s time in occupied New York City—September 26, 1781, to November 4, 1782—as an interesting side note to the American Revolution or a brief blip in the future king’s adolescence, the royal’s tenure in the New World has more to reveal. As the first member of the British royal family to visit colonial America, the sixteen-year-old prince rested at the confluence of a muddled-but-important dyad: for Loyalists, the prince defined how dreams of monarchical aid clashed with the reality of declining royal influence in colonial America, while Patriots also used him to assert their fantasies of republican liberty while lambasting the shortcomings of British Hanoverian monarchy. Ultimately, Prince William’s presence in colonial America confused as much as clarified, forcing all parties involved to confront the messiness of revolution as monarchical rule in the thirteen colonies was steadily replaced by equally muddled notions of American republicanism.
