He's said to understand German well, but prefers to reply in English. From what I think I've heard on Instagram stories he speaks English with the President during the tour of Drottningholm.

Yes, and did you notice the earrings? It's a first time they're worn. They seem to be made from the necklace, which has been shortened by two elements. This was made a couple of years ago but it's only now we get to see the result. Very well done imo, the necklace was a bit too long.

Margareta Thorgren told to Svensk Damtidning about the concert and reception yesterday evening:
- The royal couple held a banquet for the presidential couple and the German delegation. The German response reception was a nice concert. The president offered a jazz concert by Nils Landgren and his orchestra with a subsequent pandemic-adapted reception. Yes, the concert was much appreciated. It is a nice gesture by the presidential couple to show a Swedish artist who spends a lot of time in Germany.

Svensk Damtidning writes at an article that Victoria welcomed the Presidential couple by speaking German, she speaks German well. Damtidning also "knows" that Daniel understands some German but does not speak fluent German. On the other hand, he too is a social chameleon who can behave in all contexts. With or without German.
