Huh? Is it Hel-leen or Hel-len?
A short 'e' sound at the beginning and a long 'e' sound at the end (sort of like 'lean' at the end.) I believe this is the French pronunciation of the name. The other variation of pronouncing it that you wrote is the English version. 'Helen' short 'e' sounds for both.Originally posted by montecarlo@Dec 8th, 2003 - 10:45 am

Yes, I know that, but I was just wondering because recently someone asked Philippe (someone from the public during a visit somewhere) when Elisabeth was going to school, and then he said that it was still too early.Originally posted by Hannelore@Apr 25th, 2004 - 12:42 pm
Probably in September then, in Belgium it's usual for children to start school at 2,5/3 years.
But hopefully we'll have new photos of her before then!
So you´ve talked to her? Cool.Originally posted by royal_sophietje@Apr 25th, 2004 - 2:46 pm
Three years this winter.... time flies. About two years she speaks fluently
