My understanding is that Nikolai and Felix speak English at home as that is the language their parents speak most frequently at home. But I believe that Nikolai goes to a Danish-speaking school.

I think they are too young (especially Felix!) to do interviews! And the only interviews I have seen with Alexandra and/or Joachim done in the presence of their children have been print interviews, so you couldn't hear them speak anyway.

I thought I read something somewhere that they speak English at home? I could be wrong and thinking about someone else, but I swear I remember that....

Yes I recall reading somewhere as well that Alexandra and Jochim speak English at home with their children. Actually many of todays Royal Families who reign over non-english speaking countries speak English at home, (in the days when Royala would generally marry their foriegn cousins it was even mor common, that's why so many Royals speak more then one language). English is still the common language when Royals meet. For example I know for a fact that when Queen Silvia and King Carl Gustaf of Sweden married and had children English was manily spoken at home, as Silvia didn't really study Swedish until after she married the king. The Danish Royals all speak English very well particullarly the Queen and Prince Joachim.

I read somewhere that Alexandra speaks Danish with her sons because she feels it is important for Nikolai and Felix. It's interesting that they mostly speak English though...Sofia of Spain speaks English with her children and Juan Carlos too...

It's good that the kids are bilingual this early though :) Do you think Nikolai and Felix will learn to speak Chinese too?

English is sort of the official royal language. Since all of the Royal Families are related some how, they need a common language when they see each other. English is that language, except for the Scandinavian royals they all speak their native languages when they're together. German and French is also widely spoke by Royals.

I read in an article over a year ago, that Alexandra and Joachim speak Danish at home with the children, but that they speak English with each privately. Of course, I would tend to believe that the children speak and understand English as well since they most likely hear their parents speaking it and I am sure that their parents do have some conversations with them in English as well.

Or maybe she is in mourning. Just kidding. But seeing too much her black dresses just depress me.

Has anyone else notice that Alex has been waering black or dark colors, for sme time now. I really do think that she is waering dark colors so she wouldn't outshine Mary. I hope after the wedding she will wear bright colors again. But, I will gladly accept Alex wearing dark colors, as a sign that is going to have another baby. :woot:
I noticed that the day of the Naval Ceremony. Mary was wearing her lovely light outfit and then Alexandra was in a black suit. At first I thought that they weren't at the same event but they were. I think that she's trying to fade into the background for the next few weeks- letting Mary have all of the spotlight. Hopefully this won't last past the wedding though.

Princess Alexandra looked slimmer in her black outfit. I think her hair has a new style.

Though it's nice to wear something black especially at night time but I would also suggest that Princess Alexandra would try to go back to her colorful side of wearing dresses maybe after the royal wedding. She does not look good already in wearing a series of black outfits in every event she attends. Though she is still vibrant and she really knows how to make a simple outfit stand out. I mean it doesn't matter is your dress is very expenisve or just an ordinary one, how it differs is on how a person wears and brings it. Even when a lot of people were wearing black to the concert but Alex did stand out.

I think all of you should check out the Going to Weddings section of http://www.princessalexandradk.com

CLICK ON THIS

It shows various weddings that the couple had attended. I would say that Princess Alexandra looked very sexy in her red outfit paired with her nice pair of shoes. She also looks glowing and beautiful when she is pregnant. Try to check her picture wearing the blue gown which is so good on her.

I like the red dress, the blue dress and the dress that she wore to her friend's wedding in London.

Alexandra's bag complements her black outfit very nicely. Haha. Just had to mention that. Joachim and her do seem to be in F&M's shadow as of the moment, but I think that'll pass once the excitement of their marriage is over. Hopefully anyway.
