    Well for starters, kids aren’t going to whinge about it- they’re just going to use it, generally correctly for their setting.

    Headlines when a royal family kid is bilingual, every day regular-ass survival when a poor border town kid does it, unprompted.

        There was one royal kid-a girl- who learned spanish.

        It made headlines.

        I assume her accent is so bad as to be largely unintelligible to most spanish speaking folks.

        They have translators.

        Border kids learn both on their own or they starve
