Queen Elizabeth II reigns over the United Kingdom and 14 other Commonwealth states.
Elizabeth was born in Mayfair, London, as the Duke and Duchess of York’s first child. Following the abdication of her father’s brother, King Edward VIII, in 1936, Elizabeth became the heir presumptive.
Does Queen Elizabeth II speak German or French?
Queen Elizabeth spoke French fluently. Aside from French, which is the only foreign language spoken by the British Royal Family, several of the royals also speak German.
Both the apparent successors, Prince Charles and Prince William, are conversant in the language.
According to Express, Marion Crawford, her instructor, and governess, taught her the language when she was a tiny girl.
When in the neighboring nation, the queen speaks French and once delivered a speech in French during a State Banquet in 2014.
Elizabeth and Phillip were married for an incredible 73 years, until the Prince died at the age of 99 in April 2021.
