该短语据信起源于英国首相本杰明·迪斯雷利。 它被约翰·莫利(John Morley)于1903年归于迪斯雷利，在莫利的"威廉·埃瓦特·格拉德斯通的一生"中引用了1873年至1876年间牛津巴利奥尔学院硕士本杰明·乔维特(Benjamin Jowett)所著的"马克西姆斯为一位政治家"的谚语[1][2]. 乔威特的11条格言之一就是"从不争吵，从不解释，从不恨，从不烦恼，从不失败". 外科医生兼作家罗伯特·塔特尔·莫里斯(Robert Tattle Morris)在1915年的著作"医生对战"中写道。 人们说，“按照规则来‘永远不要抱怨，永远不要解释'是好的。 一个人是根据其性格整体来判断的，而不是个人行为"[2].
作家沃尔特·巴格霍特(Walter Bagehot)在1867年的作品"英国宪法"中写道，英国王室"抛弃一切我们皇室的皇室是值得敬仰的，如果你开始纠缠它，你就不能敬仰它。..... 它的奥秘就是它的生命。 我们绝不能在白昼使魔术出现。 Bagehot的观点被视为"永不抱怨，永不解释"的前身，维多利亚女王及其后代也听从了他的建议。 [1] Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon夫人(未来的女王伊丽莎白太后)在与约克公爵阿尔贝特王子(未来的国王乔治六世)订婚后接受了报纸采访，据报道他激怒了父亲乔治五世国王。 [1] 她后来从未就皇家问题发言或评论。
座右铭与女王伊丽莎白二世特别相关，被认为是她长期统治成功的关键。 [3]
由于媒体面貌不那么顺从，越来越具有侵略性，"从不抱怨，从不解释"的策略在1990年代被查尔斯王子(未来的国王查理三世)和他的妻子威尔士公主戴安娜所放弃。 查尔斯是乔纳森·迪姆布尔比授权的传记"威尔士王子：一部传记和之后的电视采访"查尔斯：私人人物"的主题，当年的公开角色广播。 戴安娜在1995年的一次电视采访中与安德鲁·莫顿(Andrew Morton)合作创作了他的1992年著作"戴安娜：她的真实故事"和"马丁·巴希尔". [1] 1980年代，人们认为这对王室是有害的，因为它使他们无法纠正媒体对自己的错误报道。
夏尔三世的幼子萨塞克斯公爵哈里王子在2023年的一次采访中提到了他的家人对格言的坚持，以宣传他即将出版的回忆录"节俭". [4] 他于60分钟向安德森·库珀表示，"家庭座右铭是‘永远不要抱怨，永远不要解释'，但这只是一句座右铭。.....[布金汉宫]会喂食或与记者对话，这位记者会从字面上说成是勺形信息，写下故事，在故事的底部，他们会说他们已经伸手到白金汉宫征求意见。 但整个故事是白金汉宫评论"[4].
卡米拉，康沃尔公爵夫人(后来的卡米拉王后)，称在2017年的一次采访中被告知她小时候被告知"永远不要抱怨，永远不要解释——只要继续说下去". [5] 该格言也被描述为Zsa Zsa Gabor,Simon Le Bon,Kate Moss，以及Reine Spencer, Spencer伯爵夫人等人物的最爱。 [6][7][8].

Never complain, never explain
"Never complain, never explain" is a public relations strategy that has become particularly associated with the British royal family.
Origins
[edit]
The phrase is believed to have originated with the prime minister of the United Kingdom, Benjamin Disraeli.[1] It was attributed to Disraeli by John Morley in 1903, as quoted in Morley's Life of William Ewart Gladstone with the saying originating from "Maxims for a Statesman" by Benjamin Jowett, the Master of Balliol College, Oxford, written between 1873 and 1876.[1][2] One of Jowett's 11 maxims was "never quarrel, never explain, never hate, never fret, never fail".[1] The surgeon and writer Robert Tuttle Morris wrote in his 1915 book Doctors vs. Folks that "It is well to follow the rule to 'Never complain, never explain'. A man is judged by his character as a whole – not by individual acts."[2]
The writer Walter Bagehot in his 1867 work The English Constitution wrote of the British royal family that "Above all things our royalty is to be reverenced, and if you begin to poke about it you cannot reverence it... Its mystery is its life. We must not let in daylight upon magic".[1] Bagehot's views have been seen as a precursor of "Never complain, never explain", and Queen Victoria and her descendants followed his advice.[1] Lady Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon (the future Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother) gave a newspaper interview after her engagement to Prince Albert, Duke of York (the future King George VI) which reportedly enraged his father, King George V.[1] She never subsequently spoke or commented on royal issues.[1]
The motto became particularly associated with Queen Elizabeth II and was perceived as crucial to the success of her long reign.[3]
With a less deferential and increasingly aggressive media landscape, the strategy of "Never complain, never explain" was abandoned by Prince Charles (the future King Charles III) and his wife Diana, Princess of Wales, in the 1990s. Charles was the subject of Jonathan Dimbleby's authorised biography The Prince of Wales: A Biography and a subsequent television interview, Charles: The Private Man, the Public Role broadcast that year. Diana collaborated with Andrew Morton for his 1992 book Diana: Her True Story and Martin Bashir in a 1995 television interview.[1] It was seen as damaging to the royal family in the 1980s as it left them unable to correct erroneous media stories about themselves.[1]
Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, the younger son of Charles III, referenced his family's adherence to the motto in a 2023 interview to promote his forthcoming memoir, Spare.[4] He told Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes that "The family motto is 'never complain, never explain', but it's just a motto ... [Buckingham Palace] will feed or have a conversation with a correspondent, and that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story, and at the bottom of it, they will say they have reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. But the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting."[4]
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall (later Queen Camilla), said in a 2017 interview that she was told as a child "Never complain and never explain – just get on with it".[5] The motto has also been described as a favourite of such personalities as Zsa Zsa Gabor, Simon Le Bon, Kate Moss, and Raine Spencer, Countess Spencer.[6][7][8]
