Hi Amira!:) He doesn't...that's odd but he grew up in Morocco didn't he. As MSA couldn't be used in the street. Didn't he grow up speaking any form of Berber?:Tarifit, Tashelhiyt?
The reason I ask is because, from what I understood King Muhammad VI is half Berber and naturally thought that he would have had to have spoken a form of Berber. Maybe you could shed some light upon this subject? Thanks in advance:) Quote:

I am quite surprised that the Spanish royals are apparently fluent in English. I travelled around Spain for two weeks and my experience tells me that English is not very widely spoken in Spain, not even in tourist areas.
Or may be they just get very fed up with tourists trying to speak English to them so they pretend they don't understand! LOL!

His mother was not Greek, she was British, Princess Alice von Battenberg (late Earl's Mountbatten sister). His father was Greek, Prince Andrew of Greece & Denmark, son of First King of Greece George I (royal family coming from Denmark). Just fot the story, Prince Philip is first cousin with the author Michel de Grece, King George I of Greece was their grandfather. Prince Philip was born in Greece, but when he was a baby, the Royal family was chassed from Greece. Prince Philip has been raised in Paris-St Cloud and after in UK by his maternal grandmother. He was also very close to his uncle Earl of Mountbatten (the Battenberg changed their name to be Mountbatten during the 1st WW to sound less German. He never returned back in Greece. Prince Philip lost his father when he was abt 21. He may speek Greek because he comes very often in Mont Athos, but I thanks he never came everywhere else in Greece. If you know for sure some more information about his greek speaking skills, please let me know. Thanks Last edited by fandesacs2003; 11-29-2005 at 11:12 AM.

And yes, actually they speak very good English but it is weird because no one member of the royal family (except Infanta Cristina) speak catalan, euskera or gallego (well, I hate the on-line translators and I don't know how translate this  ) that are spoke by milions of people in Spain, for example Catalan is spoke for 6 millions and that doesn't include Valenciano... So it's really weird...

also, Beatrix could be seen clearly singing along to all the hymns at M and F's wedding. I dont know if Beatrix spoke German. I've read that when she and Claus first met they spoke English to each other. she may have learned it later. BTW, Maxima was speaking French on her recent trip to Morocco.

To know these languages they would turn out to be slightly useful, though the Prince if he speaks something about Catalan. So much the Catalan how the Galician they are languages derived from the Latin and look like enough the Spanish. The euskera is difficult enough and people speak it even less. Those languages are only spoken in those territories and not in the rest of Spain. The Spanish is the official language of the State, although those languages are Co-officials. In spite of that in his speeches in those provinces always they introduce phrases in those languages. As for the English, nowadays the children study English and French in the college, but 30 years ago, the things were different. Nowadays the things have changed in the world, and the Spanish is a language that advances express.
