What language do the Danish and Greek royal families speak? To each other, that is. German? English?

Quite probaly Danish or Greek, I understand that all/most of the members of both the Danish & Greek royal families speak either language.Sorry for the late post almost 3 years after the question, I am looking through all the old threads.x
 
Some of the Danes other than Anne-Marie speak Greek? Why would they have learned that language? They could have just spoken English to Constantine and the children.

I once read somewhere I cannot remember that Frederik and Joachim spoke Greek, and that Pavlos spoke Danish. I know they all speak english so that might be the common language between them all.x
 
Interesting - that's cool about Fred and Joachim since Greek seems like it would be a difficult language. Do Alexia and Constantine speak any Danish? Does Margrethe speak any Greek?

I don't think that Margrethe speaks any Greek; kongehuset.dk list the languages she speaks as being Danish, French, Swedish, English and German. And actually, again according to their official website, neither Frederik nor Joachim speak Greek - although they might be able to hold a basic conversation or something, I don't know.
 
I have read that Pavlos and his siblings are able to speak Danish. I don't know about Constantine.
 
i love the pictures especially the b&w ones and the pictures of all three sisters and their families together as well as the pictures of the grandchildren with the queen and king
 
Couldn't find this thread. Here we go.

QMII has many talents, holding babies didn't use to be one of them but practise makes perfect. Here she's holding Christian: http://www.bt.dk/sites/default/file...64-dronning-margrethe-med-prins-christian.jpg

As you know Queen Margrethe is farmor (paternal grandmother) to eight children and here is an eleven pictures gallery from Familie Journalen: Dronning farmor - - Familie Journal

Five "caption this".

As I've mentioned elsewhere they are usually not very funny, but sometimes, sometimes, they've got that cheeky edge that makes it funny. :p

Blue: "How about a number five"?
Red: "Must dad always sleep down there, when he's been to a nightclub"?
Yellow: "That'll teach you to stay clear of the altar-wine".

https://www.box.com/s/8ee09530800f9efef904
Pink: "You've got to hold yourself until the speeches are over".
Green: "Frederik has obviously been speaking Korean all day".
Blue: "That'll be one fun evening"!
Yellow: "Did you set the recorder for the soccer-match"?
Red: "Let's start with a karaoke-duet".

I actually laughed pretty hard at some of these...!!! But what were Joachim and Frederick doing in those pictures with Princess Marie doing all those grins? :whistling: Everybody else seemed serious!!
 
:previous: :) You are welcome.

I vaguely remember reading something about this being caused by some less than flattering portraits in a folder Frederik and Joachim had been given.

Thanks Muhler - another round of laughs! And thanks for the article on the "funny faces". Most entertaining except for the South Korean officials who put together the folders...
 
Let's have some romance.
We need it on this grey day where autumn is knocking on the door.

And in case you want to know, a kiss in Danish is "kys". :wub:
An alternative word could be a "nys", but that's more like a peck.:kiss:
A really intensive kiss is a "tungeslasker". :shock:
 
I don't know if it's me, but all of the links show the same little pictures of different royal couples??
 
No I'm see M&F, J&M and M&H in the links.
 
I tripped over this picture and the story behind is one of my favorites: http://www.bt.dk/sites/default/files-dk/node-images/539/2/2539924-prins-henrik.jpg

After a lunch onboard Dannebrog Prince Henrik went ashore accompanied by one of QMII's LiW's in order to stroll the couple of hundred meters to Amalienborg.
When he spotted the press and onlookers PH put his arm around her and laughed: "Please don't think I have more mistresses (*) then her, because I haven't". Amusing everyone.

(*) Yes mistress, as in a liason of the heart.
