). It doesn't mean any language is valued less or anything. Particularly when, in other languages, you can express in one word a sentiment that would take a whole sentence to explain in English. So I think that the family, knowing and speaking as many languages as they do (they all speak French, English, German and Spanish - Caroline speaks Italian and Albert speaks Portuguese, I'm not sure how many of them are capable of speaking Monegasque - Stephanie's children probably would given that they were raised largely in Monaco where it's part of the curriculum) they just talk in whatever suits best, knowing that everyone will understand. I happen to think that a person who can mix languages comes across as smart and well educated and, dare I say it, a little exotic. 
In any case, it's still cute. 
) and there's a reply from someone else (off screen) in English. Just because they grew up in France does not mean that they'll always speak French, even if it is the most natural. My experience (not necessarily of children - I find children will often speak in whatever language they're spoken to) is that people who speak several languages will often blend them. People grow up and change and develop their own way of speaking and their own style of language. We also mustn't forget who the family socialises with - many people of many different nationalities speaking many different languages. Diversity is practically essential. They may give interviews in French but that's because the interviews are usually for French speakers. Charlotte's first interview was for a French station, so of course she spoke in French. You seem a little stuck on the idea that just because the Casiraghis are natives of a French-speaking country and spent most of their childhoods in France, that they'll just always speak French no matter what. I'm all for patriotism to your country but what about a little open-mindedness?
Thank you! It's super cute!Sure, here's the link. She talks somewhere near the end of the video, around 26:00 mark. I'm less sure it's German now, it sounds like she's speaking French but I can't hear for sure because the lady talks over the top of her. I also stand corrected about the event - it was Albert's enthronement, not Fête Nationale. Or were they on the same day that year? I can't remember.
People always make fun of me when I add French, German, and sometimes Spanish words or phrases into my English. And my dad lives in Belgium, so I have a lot of Dutch phrases in my vocabulary too, so people get really confused when I talk sometimes. Especially when the words aren't directly translatable. I agree that the Casiraghi's most likely use a unique mix of the languages that they are most comfortable with. Pierre's may be more Italian and French, since those are the languages of the locations he frequents, while Charlotte's may be French and English since she is living in London. But they are very linguistic, so it may be any other combination.
I think I read somewhere that Andrea had Spanish classes. I suppose it goes in hand with the international politics thing. The three Grimaldis all definitely speak Spanish - I think Albert speaks Portuguese as well (I don't know that one for sure - I only read a story saying he talked to some of the waiting staff at a restaurant in Portuguese but the author could have gotten it wrong; Spanish and Portuguese are very similar languages. I never learned the latter but I can still understand it because it sounds so much like Spanish) but I could be wrong about the Casiraghis. Maybe they don't speak Spanish at all.
Ih ih ih...

They cute golden couple. Thanks
I think of all the trio and their significant others, Pierre and Bea are definitely the cutest and seem to be the most into each other. Who would've thought--considering all his excursions, if you will, just a few years ago, that he would've settled down and be apart of the cutest couple of them all!
I can't help it. I was born this way.
