Can't say that was my interpretation. Light hearted, yes. Desperate? that makes little sense to me.
She obviously wants to get rid of her Australian accent? As is
your opinion of course
To me the
Crown Princess sounds quite
naturally Australian when she speaks, if not accompanied by a slight Danish lilt. Her english accent doesn't appear to have altered very much
(to me) these past four or so years.
I acknowledge she attempts to articulate each letter in every word, and in the process seems to stumble on occasion. I can't say I've noticed anything that coulde be considered a
"stiff upper lip", in either her demeanor
or when she talks. She has quite the charming voice. Delicate even.
I agree with the likeliness of the speech having been written for Mary. To me, that too was quite evident. I personally percieve her to get a little nervous when reading aloud infront of such an audience, though it's also entirely possible she didn't revise over it like she should have given it was written in her native tongue. I can't say, but I certainly noticed the errors and only hope she betters her public speaking as I'm hopefull she shall.
Always nice to see them together.
