    An excellent example of someone who marries into a family, and a culture, and embraces the experience rather than trying to make everyone else around them change.

      This is such a good point. Esp marrying into a royal family, you have to learn so much and adapt to their culture, customs and language, its a sign of respect to your new country and its people. And I think the people probably love her for it to. I certainly admire her, learning a new language is hard esp when you have to give speeches and interviews, it must have been nerve wracking at first.

      She’s definitely the first person I thought of when Meghan started whining. I was like… it’s not like you had to learn an entire new language and completely different culture. Mary never whined

    I would agree with her father. CP Mary _has_ a little bit of a Danish accent when she speaks English. It's quite charming and also very natural - she's been immersed in that language for several years now. A sure sign of "living in both worlds". 😊

    Thank you very much for posting so much about the Danish Royal Family. They are my favorites royals. My hope is that via your postings people discover this amazing family and all the wonderful work they do for relevant and important causes. IMO they are the epitome of what a royal family can and should be. A royal family that modernizes and adapts to the times while still maintaining their history and traditions. Plus they seem so relatable and down to earth. They're a joy to follow.

    How are you doing iam new subscriber Arabic lady citizen since Christmas 2019 I began to subscribe to British and American RUclips channels we are as foreigners subscribers as overseas students want to increase our cultural level improve our English language as well first of all make friendships with people from different countries actually English is international language I found out it’s easier than our native language yes our language is beautiful but we have so many rules one single word we have several vocabularies . I just read danish language or language of Denmark is derived from Germanic languages share terms of pronunciation vocabulary grammar iam so glad to be subscriber in your channel learn about Denmark civilization and history costumes and traditions.

      @seanbayley7452 Год назад

      Yes Danish is of Germanic origin so is english we have a few words with the same pronunciation but different meanings as well,it's great U are learning English as like U said it's a world language and therefore opens U up to many different cultures,I think the Arabic script is beautiful it seems to flow effortlessly I've seen it decorating mosques as well, I'm from Australia like princess Marry and think that she is a wonderful lady and am so very proud of how well she has integrated into the Danish royal family its sometimes hard to believe she was not the one born into royalty, keep up with your English and if your writing is any indication you seem to have pretty well mastered it already and I just wanted to say that you are the type of foreigner any country would be proud to have emigrate to as the way U are so willing to integrate into the new society makes everything that much easier for U to get used to and it also helps so much when it comes to making new friends in your new homeland I just know from your openness that you truly are a good person.

      @@Creteliz The two words PronOUNce and pronUnciation clearly have different second syllable spellings and sounds (one stressed and one unstressed - which partly explains the problem) but a lot of people don't listen to, or don't learn, new words - and hardly anyone checks his/her own pronunciation with a dictionary! Thus the "bad" pronunciation becomes commonplace. Many words get mangled this way, e.g. vulnerable, probably, library...

      @@randomdude4669​​⁠​⁠no I don’t believe it is that as I do not know one person from the US who says “pronounce-iation”. To do so is an error in, well, pronunciation of the word. It is more likely that as she continued her immersion into Danish, she lost some of her native recall of English. Which is not surprising when you become so immersed into all of things Danish as she was.

      To be fair, when I first heard her speak publicly I didn't think of her as Aussie. I always thought her Australian-English accent sounded on the posh side. Then over the years, her Aussie-English sounded more European-English, obviously because she has had to immerse herself completely in Danish language. She's integrated for love and won hearts in Denmark so she deserves the accolades.
