Princess Madeleine + Chris O’Neill: This is how they keep their conversations private

It is especially Chris O’Neill, 49, who values ​​his life away from the hustle and bustle of the Swedish royal family. But Princess Madeleine, 41, has also made it clear how much she enjoys not being constantly recognized and spoken to by strangers. “There are so many different people there and I feel like I don’t stand out. “I can walk down the street and no one looks at me,” Madeleine once explained about her life away from her home country. Nevertheless, Madeleine and Chris have developed their own tactics to communicate privately with one another, even in public. To do this, they use a very specific one language back.

Princess Madeleine + Chris O’Neill: They speak Swedish, English and …

As the Swedish website “Sensk Dam” now reveals, Madeleine and Chris speak German to each other! And always when they don’t want people around them to overhear them. Pretty practical, after all, the probability of accidentally standing next to a foreign German-speaking person is pretty low – especially in your adopted hometown of Florida.

While Madeleine is from Sweden, Chris was born in London. Normally the two would converse primarily in English, according to “Svensk Dam”. Their children Princess Leonore, Prince Nicolas and Princess Adrienne are growing up bilingual: They should be able to speak English and Swedish. On the other hand, only Mama Madeleine and Papa Chris are allowed to speak German – and they cleverly exploit this fact for their own private benefit.

They converse in German – thank their mothers

However, Madeleine and Chris did not learn the language with the aim of being able to communicate better with each other. On the contrary: both grew up speaking German from an early age. This is due to their mothers: Both Queen Silvia, 79, and Eva O’Neill were born and grew up in Germany. They passed on their native language to their children – which they still use today.
