LadyK said:She learned Danish, a notoriously hard language to learn (Prince Henrik still hasn't mastered it),.... But most importantly- After a couple of years of marriage, she and CP Frederik are still as happy and in love as they were when they got married.
Unlike Prince Henrik, Mary didn't have a heavy French accent to start with and, as a French speaker myself, I'm afraid that our accent (whether international from France or local like mine) is there to stay in any other language we speak no matter how hard we try to get rid of it. Like a big greasy stain!
My point: can we just stop putting down Henri with the accent thing - as far as I can see he can manage to live by, understand what people tell him, even engage in conversations and makes the Queen happy, like Mary makes his son happy!
