As part of the celebrations of King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway's 80th birthdays, their grandchildren took on the task of interviewing the guests at the gala dinner at the Royal Palace in Oslo. No copyright intended.
This is so funny, but its also a good way to get their children used to public speaking in a fun way. Its too bad these types of moments don't get as much press as the U.K.
It's interesting that the Norwegians, Swedish, and Danish are speaking their own respective languages but Beatrix of the Netherlands is speaking in English.
Three for the price of one. The Scandinavians can understand each other, but Beatrix of the Netherlands is the "odd man out". Would someone like Crown Princess Mary of Denmark who learned Danish in her adult years be able to understand Swedish?
Perhaps a bit less than a native speaker but her Danish is said to be excellent, so I would imagine she'd understand almost as much as a native speaker would.
Maud Angelica did a great speech at her fathers funeral at age 17. Her father struggled with mental health and commited sucide at Christmas day. That girl stand in front of the coffin of her father and told other that struggle with mental health to seek help. And the church was full of friends and important people and the funeral was aired on the television. That girl has guts.
Really though, these are the types of Royals I would endorse. Granted I'm American and we've never been any type of Kingdom, but I have deep roots in Denmark and Sweden. Jeg kan virkelig godt lide de skandinaviske lande
Love to See all the European Royals comes together of together for gatherings like this great opportunity for the all the royal cousins to get together and have fun as a family
We learn English from a very young age in Norway and it is also a fact that those who learn the language will take it more seriously than those who grow up with it.
It is fashionable in UK to sound ordinary or with local accents . Years ago one was taught to have; OXFORD NO ACCENT. CORRECT PRONUNCIATION. They speak as the British Should!
Beatrix deserved the compliment both she,Fredrick,and Victoria are beatiful pepol with class,and oh was it king Karl Gustav who sat next to Queen Sonja and bursted out laughing😂
Honestly, these princes and princesses sure seem to just have fun with the other royal families. In fact, I imagine them not minding hanging out with kids their age to play video games, watch some anime or have a pizza
😍 thats how all children should be educated and all family dinners should run...diplomatic smart free flowing space for kids to interact with all generations! no smart mouth questions trying to embasse others
Unfortunately that’s the full video on the kids’ part. Although Haakon, Mette-Marit and Märtha-Louise did dress up as the King, Queen and Princess Astrid and were interviewed by Ingrid
I couldn’t stop laughing too much. The kids are so cute, especially with the prince Friederickof Denmark and Princess Victoria of Sweden and Queen Beatrix
I'd like to see the British royals do this... but then again the British royals are to busy acting better than the other royal families sooo... most likely never.
@@bebos1262 Of course, British Royalty was invited and they attended! Why would they not be invited to the King - a second or third cousin of Elizabeth II - and Queen's 80th birthday?!
Такое забавное детское мини-представление. Хотя в самом начале выступали Хокон, его сестра и Метте-Марит. Дети явно увлеченно готовились и задорно отыгрывали роли интервьюеров. Гости тоже не подкачали, явно с юмором реагировали, судя по дружному смеху. Вообще на редкость теплая атмосфера, хотя и официальный ужин. С другой стороны королевские семьи Норвегии, Дании и Швеции - близкая родня, плюс там еще и коронованные крестные из Нидерландов и Испании, что тоже серьезно. Так что хоть все в вечерних нарядах и драгоценностях, но впечатление немножко домашнего "междусобойчика". Хотя почему бы и нет?
Do you have subtitles for that part when Ingrid interviewed her parents and her her aunt while they were dressed as Princess Astrid and the King & Queen?
No, the children spoke norwegian, Victoria spoke swedish and Frederik danish. The scandinavian languages are close enough to that we can (mostly) understand each other.
Like sjjack06100 said, the languages are *really* similar, especially in writing. I'm Danish and if I read an article on a Norwegian site, it's basically just like reading Danish with typos. There's more of a difference with Swedish but I'm still easily able to understand Swedish articles and stuff. There may be a word here and there that's just completely different but you'll usually be able to guess the meaning based on context etc. The main differences between our languages are pronunciations. Norwegian and Swedish are more similar there but still different. They both have that melodic sound to them. Very up and down in tone etc. Almost singy-songy to my ears. Danish is much more influenced by our southern neighbors and is a very "flat" language. Swedish and Norwegians think we mumble. However, if Danish, Swedes and Norwegians are around each other regularly, they quickly get used to the tones, the pronunciations etc. and will be able to understand each other fairly well. It's all about practice, which I guess the royal families get. The Scandinavian royals aren't exactly strangers to each other. You can also see the practice thing in the general population. Danes in Copenhagen are generally better at understanding Swedish than Danes in Jutland are for example, as Copenhagen is so close to Sweden that they're bound to hear Swedish regularly over there. Not so much in Jutland. Swedes are pretty much exotic in Jutland.. Unless you're in a big university or something perhaps. All the silly stereotypes and teasing between Sweden and Denmark also tends to be very Copenhagen focused as that's where most Danes see Swedes. So all of those "Drunk Swedes" stereotypes are from Copenhagen, as it's quite a popular place for Swedes to go out since it's so close to them and cheaper than Sweden when it comes to alcohol. A Norwegian or a Swede moving to Denmark really wouldn't need to learn a new *language*, but just different pronunciations. Most of the words are basically the same.
I knew Danish and Norwegian can pretty understand each other( way of speaking changes tho). But, Svenska? I didn’t know they could understand Norsk/Dansk. Then again, royalties are intelligent! 😂
You don´t have to be a Royal Scandinavian to understand all 3 languages, all Scandinavians do. They are all basically the same language, with some differences.
Awwww. Very loose royal families . They are so close with each other . They are related to each other anyways. Royal families of Denmark, Norway, Sweden ,and Belgium
To be honest, I can’t understand a single word they are saying 😂 however, this video is actually funny loll Prince Magnus was like “Why can’t Swedes go faster on their skis?” like bro- 😂 Edit: aaaa why is prince magnus sooo funny another Edit: YOOO THEY CAN SPEAK ENGLISH?
I am wondering what languages did the kids ask the HRH Princess Victoria and HRH Prince Fredirik. Did they speak Swedish to ask Princess Victoria and Danish to Princess Frederik?
Yes they were all speaking in their native languages. Norwegian, Swedish and Danish are mutually intelligible. Learn one, and you should be able to understand the other two.
Edgar Herrera Their language are very similar. Just like mainland Spanish and Mexican Spanish. There’s even a person who said she learn Danish in order to understand Swedish. Cuz they’re all the same.
No. The children spoke Norwegian, Crown Princess Victoria spoke Swedish and Crown Prince Frederik spoke Danish. The 3 Scandinavian languages are similar so we kind of understand each other.
I believe in God. Life is too beautiful to end at death. I imagine that this is something like what heaven will be like except that those who love Jesus will ALL be kings and Queens, fellowshipping with one another in the most happy way with our Lord and Saviour and all the saints from all time, past, present and the future ones who will come after us. :) At the beginning, the subtitles say: "Queen Sonja: and our grandchildren were interviewing the guests!" Did King Harold himself post this? Hello from Canada your Royal Highness! :)
