改名为亚瑟·尤瑟·潘德拉贡,因为他相信自己是亚瑟王转世。
"I'm the only person in the UK, other than the Queen, who is allowed to wear a crown in their passport picture," says the man formerly known as John Rothwell. He changed his name in 1986 and said even his family no longer call him by his birth name.
"我是整个英国除却女王外,唯一能在护照照片上穿戴皇冠的人。"这位之前名为约翰·罗斯维尔的男人讲道。他在1986年改名,并称即使是他的家人也不再叫他的原名。
Passport control officials always do a double take when they see his name and picture, which shows him wearing a crown.
护照管制官员在看到他的名字与戴着王冠的照片时,总是会忍不住再看一眼。
