Royal Voices

[acegirl1978]

You should hear the voice of princess Mathilde, she has such pretty voice, especially when she talks to her daughter.

Willen Alexander and Maxima tallking about Amalia after her birth. I'm guessing they're talking in Dutch (I myself cannot recongnize the language)

It is Dutch.
Amalia is so cute in this video!

[rosana]

She´s very sweet and warm!!

[Princess_Beatrix]

Little Amalia has so cute, dark eyes!

Maxima's voice is really dark, but to me it sounds very nice and warm!
I cannot speak dutch, but to me it sounds she speaks it very well now, without any accent. Maybe a dutch member can give me the answer

On the dutch Forum there´s a thread about Maxima´s voice,and they say she speaks Dutch allright, almost without any accent,isn´t it amazing? She really has facility for languages!

"There's the princess!"
"No that's not the princess. She wears no crown!"
I think it's funny to see her changing her voice!

I like her voice. It sounds dark and soft.

What about Queen Elizabeth's voice? Does anyone has a video or something where I can hear her?

Thanks in advance

Here is Queen Elizabeth in the House of Lords earlier this year:

I used to find Queen Elizabeth's voice too high pitched, but I've grown to like it, it's very 'Queenly'

[SpiffyBallerina]

Mostly I hear them and they fit the person's picture, but there are a few exceptions:

Letizia looks like such a small person (in comparison with her husband), so I didn't expect her to have such a strong voice.

Maxima has a VERY deep voice, but it's still pretty. Alexia of Greece also has a deep voice.

I think Queen Beatrix had, when she was young) a very beautiful voice, perhaps the most beautiful of any other royal I've heard.

The Norweigian kingly couple speaks English so well! They sound nice too. :)

I don't know if this video was posted before.. but we can hear Queen Elizabeth's and Queen Mother's voices. I love that "No mummy!"

Well, Letizia had to have a decent, matured, clear voice, since she was a TV news host before.

Regarding Maxima, I was suprised with the deepness of her voice. Luckily, WA's voice is deep as well, so they match perfectly well. It would be a disgrace to have a flute-voiced Prince with a partner like her...

Neither have I. She is not very often talking to the press when she comes here, and I don't think she would find useful to speak in Spanish while abroad (except some visit to Spain)

If anyone has a link to some video of her speaking in Spanish, it would be very much appreciated.

[puppigurl2005]

why is it that people from Denmark, Sweden and Norway can speak english with no accent whatsoever?
I mean, the video of Martha Louise suprised me. she sounded like any other american woman.

kay maybe martha louise sounds more like a british lady.

[LadyK]

Martha-Louise was educated in England (at Oxford) and she and Ari lived in New York for a while after they were married.
Haakon studied at Berkeley, here in the US, and then after he and MM married, they lived for a year (I think it was a year, I could be off on the duration) in London.
I think--no, I know--King Harold V spent WWII in Canada. I read an anicdote on this forum somewhere that when he came back to Norway, his grandfather could barely even understand him. Maybe someone else remembers the details of it.

And Mary obviously speaks perfect English...

[puppigurl2005]

if i went to a foreign country for a year and came back speaking a little differently, i think my parents would be freaked out. Poor King Harald's dad.
