I speak enough of a number of languages to 'get by' in most cases, although I would never claim to be fluent in any of them. This may be a bit off topic, but I would advise potential visitors to a foreign country to make an effort to speak at least a modicum of the lingo. The locals will respect the fact that you have tried. ps: The two most important words in any language are "please" and " thank you".

One should never forget that the British Iles and global British commonwealth is ruled by a pure German bloodline.

1985 mit nem Elektroauto unterwegs, geil

Not bad for a greek. He spoke pretty good english too.

“Fluently German” is horrible English!

Zeig .........!

Come on the whole European royalties have German roots … English royals have German ancestors. You are ruled by Germans , like it or not 😂

Ja ja ja ja.....vee beet zee Germans all those years ago..... ja ja ja ja

And German isn't an easy language to learn. I'm reminded of Mark Twain's humorous 1880 essay, "The awful German Language".

He was of Danish descent actually. And also my former Colonel. I met him several times in Munster and London. A true gentleman! With a great sense of humour.

Der pissort!!!!

Surprise, surprise. Das Britische Königshaus ist eben auch Deutsch so wie die meisten europäischen Adelshäuser.Selbst die Niederländer sind da keine Ausnahme.

I wonder if he speaks with an aristocratic accent in German, as well

well, he is of the house Schleswig Holstein Sønderborg Glücksborg and his father lived for quite a while i germany and his sisters married germans and he himself married into the house Sachse Coburg und Gotha (sry, windsor) AND he was from a time when even englishmen learned foreign languages as a matter of course. More interesting is what he is saying about foreign aid to africa

er ist halb Deutscher.

Die Betonung und Aussprache ist schon echt bewundernswert.

er war doch Deutscher, warum sollte er also nicht akzentfrei sprechen können?

Yes, of course he is from a german family, natürlich er stammt aus einer deutschen Familie.

He sounds like you would expect: someone who has spoken German since childhood (therefore picked up a native accent) but was not educated in it, hence why he’s fishing a lot for words.

Was man als Kind auf natürliche Weise lernt kann man gar nicht vergessen. Er sprach Deutsch bevor er Englisch lernte.

The way the cult intended 😂

Er war ein Deutscher Ein Prinz von Schleswig, Holstein, Glücksburg und Sondernburg

Well, can't forget mother-tongue. All British royals, regardless their position, are central and north- central Germans. 🤦‍♂️

Plus Philip lived in Hesse with his sister Cecilie and her family during part of his youth.

For all of you that don't know his first languages were German, danish and English. His Mother was Princess Alice whose father was Prince Louis of Battenberg, a Hessian entity. His maternal grandmother was Princess Victoria of Hesse and the Rhine. Princess Victoria's father was Grand Duke Louis the Fourth of Hesse and the Rhine (the ruling Grand Duke by the way). Philip was also the great great grandson of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert whose birth languages were German and in Victoria's case also English. Let me put it this way, Every relative of his on both sides was a German speaker including his paternal side who were German-Danish. Even his Romanov paternal grandmother and great grandfather were German speakers. In addition Queen Elizabeth spoke German although that has been carefully hidden. Her father and uncles were all German speakers. Her Grandmother Mary was a German princess (although born and raised in England). This all really shouldn't be a surprise for anyone who knows the family lineage.

British Royal family has had ties to Germany for 200 years. Including cousins, etc.

Natürlich. Er ist Deutscher. Na und?

The late Prince Philip was of German descent, so he was fluent in the language, although he was rarely heard speaking it in public. And King Charles and Prince William have a good knowledge of it.

The German love to rudely interrupt. Look no further than this sorry excuse for a reporter, who dastardly interrupts even a Prince - pathetic!

His German is native level, with all its sounds and tones. His expression is only a little „wooden“ because he rarely had the opportunity to speak the language during his adult life.

the saxe coburg gothas spoke german in all the residences until WWI and fear over public reaction to this came to decision to speak english. PLEASE QUeen mary was pure bred german even victoria had to speak to converse well with albert. they are not a real english family in the sense of the spencers and it is said this was part of Charles' spencer's resentment about diana as he rightly said they were a better english family. Philip probably spoke greek, german and other european languages better than english until he landed at gordonstoun His english was flawless and herr hahn spoke an accented english at the school.

That's because the English monarchy is actually German. German.....they changed named to Windsor WW2...

Keine Überraschung.

He is a Battenberg prince from the umbrella family House of Hesse-Darmstadt from mothers side and Glücksburg prince from umbrella family House of Oldenburg from fathers side he is too german to not know german also when you count in the fact that he lived there until he went to highschool in uk

Wäre er nicht schon tot, könnte Frau Baerbock Deutschunterricht bei ihm nehmen.

Whoever is surprised by this, needs to Google who Philip's sisters were...

Herr von Battenberg ... and his sisters were married to SS-officers

Die alte Nazi kinder Philip spricht sehr gut Deutsch.

Prince Philip was at school in Germany before moving to the UK, in the early 1930s and then going to Gordonstone School in Scotland. He also lived in France for years as a young child, when his family were exiled and went to school there, so he also speaks French. Modern Greek too since his father was brother to the King of Greece.

Well, his family was German!

Man of many talents

Fehlt noch etwas Vokabular...

Aren’t most of the britidh royal family german descent?

Woher konnte er so gut deutsch ?

Looks exactly like King Charles here.

He spoke German approximately as fairly as his son, Charlie III, does today.😊

He is not English. The British royal family is german

French people are so critical of how foreigners speak their language. Lighten up a bit!

To me as a native German speaker it is absolutely mind boggling how this man has ZERO accent in his voice. If I didn't knew better I would not have thought he's not German.

Naja früher oder später hat er sich im Laufe des Gesprächs mit der Grammatik verhaspelt und Akzent in den Vokabeln gehabt. Aber das ist normal wenn man fast sein ganzes Leben englisch am Frühstückstisch redet. Der letzte Verwandte der mit ihm hin und wieder mal deutsch geredet hat war vielleicht seine Mutter. Möge er in Frieden schlafen mit seinem Herzblatt
