Did queen Victoria's family speak German?

Answer 1

Not exactly sure how German she was, but she was mostly German.

Her father was mostly German with a little bit of French, Welsh, Danish and Scottish mixed in (thanks to the Plantagenet, Tudor, and Stuart Kings and Queens)

Her mother was a German Princess and was almost entirely German.

Answer 2

Yes her family spoke German. Her father spoke German and her mother was German and Victoria's first language was German.

Her husband was German and all of their children learned English German and some French.

Their oldest daughter Victoria spoke German very well and since her husband Prince Fredrick of Prussia spoke limited English they conversed in German. Their children were bilingual as well and supposedly their son Kaiser William II spoke English without a German accent.

The same thing happened with Victoria's daughter Alice. Her husband Louis was a German Duke who did not speak much English so they conversed in German, their children grew up speaking both English and German as well.

Victoria's eldest son Albert Edward spoke German and English as well. Victoria actually wrote to him complaining that he would write to his Danish future wife in English rather than German (which she probably spoke since her mother was German.) Their son George V could not really speak German, but picked up the German accent.
