Carl Philip's Language Skills

[SpeedDial]

He does speak very good English!

Does anyone know what his family/friends call him? Do they just call him Carl or do they call him by his full name, Carl Philip?

[royalone3]

His family calls him Lippy.

Lippy? That's funny. I wonder if his friends call him that too.

Lippy? Where on earth did you read that?
According to newspaper 'Dagens Nyheter' and their 30th birthday interview with the Prince, friends and family call him 'CP':

Lippy? Where on earth did you read that?---I remember reading an article where his sisters and school chums called him"lippy" a few years ago.Sorry I can't remember where I saw it so I have no proof,but I thought it was funny at the time so it stuck in my brain.

I was surprised at how he pronounced his great-uncle's name. It sounded almost like "Bart-ul." I always thought it was pronounced more like "Burr-teel."

[Lighthouse]

He says "ah" too much.

I've once read that Victoria and he have a little bit difficult answering to interviews because of their dislexia. Probably that is why he uses de "ah" too much

[Nathalie Cox]

yes, he does, that made smile for some reason
