Meghan Markle Reportedly Refused to Speak French as Prince Harry Teased Her at Canada House in London

Meghan Markle, known for her bilingual abilities, recently graced London’s Canada House alongside her husband to express their gratitude for the country’s hospitality over the holidays.

As their six-weeks holiday getaway from royal duties hit a wrap, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex left Canadians with a moment to remember as the Royal couple extended words of appreciation to their host country.

While addressing a small group, Harry teased his wife’s language prowess, suggesting she address the crowd in French, one of the country’s official languages, but the royal mother was uninterested in showing off her bilingual skills.

MEGHAN DECLINES TO SPEAK FRENCH

Having majored in french for six years, the language was considered one of the Duchess’s strengths. However, the royalty declined Harry’s suggestion with a horrified “No” and continued in English as she said:

“I want to say happy new year, and thank you, as my husband said, my goodness it was just such an incredible time we were able to have there and with our son too.”

The shock of the Prince’s request did nothing to hinder the mother of one from voicing out her fantastic speech, as she went on about the beauty of Canada and how much their warm reception meant to them.

THE FIRST PUBLIC OUTING OF THE YEAR

The Royalties’ visit to the Canada House would mark the couple’s first official public appearance of the year, and they made the most of it as a family, first stopping by at the Hubb Community Kitchen, before heading to the Canada House.

They also graced an art exhibition by Kawennati, a Canadian artist, and then proceeded to discuss with members of the country’s High Commission team to discuss some of the “common priorities and values” shared between Canada and the royalties.

THE ROYALTIES SPEAK UP ABOUT THEIR AMAZING CANADIAN GETAWAY

As the holiday jitters still linger, the Sussex Royals still relish every moment spent in the country. During a chat with employees at the government house, the Royal parents shared their experiences, including enduring long periods of rainfall.

One of the employees shared:

“Meghan said it was beautiful. They seemed really relaxed and happy.”

The Canadian indigenes also had a lot of positive remarks about the Royalties, referring to them as beautiful, positive, and friendly, with no reservations about the Duchess’ refusal to communicate in French.

THE PERFECT END TO A 6-WEEKS FAMILY TIME

It can be recalled that in November last year, the Sussex royals revealed their plans to spend the holidays away from England.

Although they did not immediately reveal their vacation destination, the couple hinted a possible North-American vacay, as they shared intentions to spend the break with Meghan’s mother, Doria.

The break from royal duties was Meghan and Prince Harry's first family getaway since they welcomed their son, Archie.

As the adventurous holiday comes to an end, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to take up Royal duties once again, resuming another busy year.
