Very good documentary!
Maria José was a very great woman.

As she was engaged to Umberto since her birth !! she went during WW1 in an italian catholic School , so she spoke italian fluently.

[princeofitaly]

Yes she spoke italian.
I know she spoke italian, french and english and a little swedish. I don't know if she spoke spanish.
I read she know german, but she had made a promise never to speak it again.
