HRH the Crown Princess spoke Swedish at this event.

Following up on NaAnLi's post, does anyone know if all of these related European royals have a lingua franca? Does it depend on who is present? What do, say, Felipe and Victoria use when they speak? English or French, maybe?

 

[Alexandria]

I read that when several of the present queens get together (Margrethe, Silvia, Sonja, Anne-Marie and Sofia) they speak English. But that when the Scandinavian queens get together they speak Swedish, which both sound similar to Danish and Norwegian or at least have similar sounding words and meanings.

I don't know about the younger generations of royalty. But I presume that English is common since many of them have studied at English-language universities (Felipe, Pavlos, Victoria, Madeline, Frederik, Haakon).

Muchos gracias, Alexandria.

HM the Queen of Denmark speaks fluent Swedish since her mother; the late Queen Ingrid learned her that. Queen Margrethe's speaks Swedish with an upper-class - old-fashioned dialect.

Thank you Josefine for posting.
Maybe I´m completely wrong...but isn´t that the same dress, which she wore on her 23. birthday?!

 

[Yennie]

It seems that CP Victoria had a lot of fun on her birthday. Best wishes to her and her family. By the way, can anyone tell me what is happening in the pic where she has her hand covering a man's mouth and in the pic where she looks like she's screaming while her headgear was falling off???
