Good point, Dazzling. When I was young, I was always annoyed when ever anything stopped me from playing and having fun. You are right, they do look like they share a slight resemblance.

Here is a video clip from Se og Hor. Ah, a nice ski holiday with the press following them around. Marie looks very annoyed. Poor girl... she better get used to it because from now on this is her life.

I guess I would be annoyed, too. I mean: the press guys got their pictures ; now they should leave them alone.
Lovely pictures, by the way!

I think it's just that he's 8 years old and would much rather be skiing than posing for photographers. He also may be at a phase where he doesn't want to be seen being hugged or kissed by a motherly-figure. He's looked happy with her before, and Felix looks very happy to be with her, although that may just be because he's younger, or just has a different personality.

What language does Marie use when she talks to the princes? Are they bilingual? Danish and English? Otherwise they would have a problem if her Danish knowledge is as bad as some here have suggested.
But she has known them for quite some time now, Joachim can't have interpreted between them for years?

Any ideas?

I believe they communicate in English.

Felix and Nikolai's French is not quite up to par yet, according to an interview with Joachim from this summer, although they're learning. Also, the boys lived next to their English-speaking grandparents at Schackenborg from birth until the divorce, and have spent time with them afterwards as well.

Perhaps the boys speak English, since I don't think their mother's side of the family knows Danish? Or maybe the know French. They were speaking in the video, I'm pretty sure I heard Danish although that might have been the photographers speaking to Joachim. Maybe Marie knows more Danish than we give her credit for, although I don't expect her to be fluent yet.

I also thought that I head the boys speaking Danish in the video, although they could have been speaking to the photographers or their father.

Marie was talking in English about Felix at ski school. She was asked in English, though.

Felix is really cute when he talks about how he'll be skiing, and when he asks his nanny for her autograph

thanks for the video, they look like they are very happy and having a wonderful vacation. it sounded like in some parts marie was speaking french to joachim (at the first) but switched to engish when asked a question in english. she said she wasn't living in denmark until after they get married, it's a surprise who is designing her dress "you'll know when the time comes", she has had a couple of danish lessons (but wouldn't say anything in danish,) but is enjoying learning a new language "but it's difficult". it's a happy family time and i'm not sure but i think she said they were doing their own cooking? ?? and she is no longer working.
she looked pretty and was charming with with her answers, i think she did very good for a beginner in the "royal interviews". the boys are so cute, it's a pleasure watching them grow up. i've never seen joachim look happier.

biboquinhas · #**153** 02-13-2008, 11:22 AM

Yes I think she did really well in this interview..I don't know why but I liked her!

principessa · #**154** 02-13-2008, 02:15 PM

Are there any news about the wedding?

acdc1 · #**155** 02-13-2008, 05:20 PM

I thought I saw Marie saying something to Nikolai, but I couldn't tell what language he spoke in. She seems very sweet with the boys. Felix also seems to be more open towards the cameras than his brother. He was talking and laughing with them.

sgl · #**156** 02-13-2008, 07:05 PM

Very cute video! Marie is charming in this video.

sesa · #**157** 02-13-2008, 08:16 PM

Well, Marie came off o.k. with the press in the video. (they ask such stupid questions!!) I'm still not to sure of her for some reason. there is just something about her that I can not put my finger on. She seemed annoyed when Joachim gave her the first kiss and then the press guys asked for another one. when Joachim pulled her towards him, she seemed "really annoyed".
He has that look about him when he looks at Marie, which is the same look Alexandra had on her wedding day looking at him. I know that does not make sense, but I don't know how to explain it. It's like one person is "truely, deeply, madly in love" with the other person, and the other person is just "in love".
Whatever the case, everyone looks happy. So good for them.

I did too. I had the same impression that I got in her engagement interview, kind, natural, unassuming, etc.

She didn't seem overly thrilled with the attention, though. Kind of strange for a woman that couldn't wait to talk to the press before her engagement. Maybe the reality of royal life is starting to dawn on her.

Joachim was interviewed in the summer about his French relatives and the children playing with the cousins on that side. He said the children communicate with each other in English as his children's French isn't up to the level they need yet. So I am sure Marie speaks to them in English. Maybe some French as they are learning like she is learning Danish. I bet her and Joachim speak French.
