As a language teacher, it's long been a mystery to me why English monoglots find other languages so extremely difficult to learn, more than other language speakers by far. Compared to other Europeans who often speak 2 or more languages, English speakers usually only speak 1 language. Queen Maud is not different.
This is a mess. I am not impressed. - The same sequence repeated under a new heading. - Claiming that her life as queen consort ended by the death of her husband in 1957, and immediately afterwards telling that she herself died already in 1938.
First you say their son was born in Oslo, then in Copenhagen. The fact of the matter is he was born in England! And Oslo was not yet Oslo, it was Kristiania! And her time as queen consort came to an end when she passed away in 1938. NOT when her husband passed in 1957! And their son Alexander, later Olav, was not 'taught' norwegian. He came to live in Norway as a toddler so he learned norwegian quite naturally. Maud and her husband may never have become fluent in norwegian, but they nevertheless took their adopted home country to their hearts and became deeply loved and highly respected monarchs. Get your facts straight BEFORE making a video. This is rubbish! 👎
As a typical Brit the woman never bothered to do the bare minimum and learn to speak Norwegian, But she had no prob. taking taxpayers money for her impoverished subjects; to pay for her personal care free lifestyle with expensive jewelry, clothes and extensive trips back to her beloved UK ..

How can you even understand a culture a ppl a country its songs its writings, it norms etc etc if you cant and will not learn to speak the country's language ... She my have been one of our queens by constitutional law but she was never a queen worth of that title or worth of the ppls love !!! could not even be f... to communicate with the ppl. she was queen for

She was Maud of Wales, Queen of Norway, not Maud of Norway

Do some research. Maud did quite a bit for Norway. She wasn't a vacuous airhead.
