The Prince of Wales is a Duolingo user! According to the Daily Mail, Prince William revealed during his recent visit to South Wales that he is learning Welsh on the language-learning app. "It’s not an easy language to learn. It’s quite tricky," His Royal Highness admitted, per GB News. "I try to learn it phonetically and then get the pronunciation right."
The BBC reported that one individual named Elizabeth Davies, who was with her daughter Kate Davies, shared that they said "bore da," which is Welsh for good morning, to the Prince on Sept. 10 and "he answered us back in Welsh."
William and his wife Catherine became the Prince and Princess of Wales in September of 2022. The day after ascending the throne, King Charles said he was "proud to create" his son William "Prince of Wales, Tywysog Cymru, the country whose title I have been so greatly privileged to bear during so much of my life and duty."
His Majesty added, “With Catherine beside him, our new Prince and Princess of Wales will, I know, continue to inspire and lead our national conversations, helping to bring the marginal to the centre ground where vital help can be given."
William traveled to Wales on Sept. 10, 2024 to celebrate Welsh sport and culture, and to meet local communities. The visit came one day after his wife, the Princess of Wales, announced that she has completed her chemotherapy treatment. The news was shared in a moving video featuring Catherine, William and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Her Royal Highness' parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, also made a brief appearance.
In the video, which was filmed last month, Catherine said, "As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment. The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown."
"The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you," she continued. "With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything. This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved."
