My understanding is that Princess Andrew of Greece and Denmark (nee Princess Alice of Battenberg) did not use sign language. She read lips fluently in several languages and spoke (at least) English, German, French and Greek. The Duke of Edinburgh had a “different” childhood and, it seems, rarely saw his mother after his early childhood. (Prince and Princess Andrew did not have a happy marriage. Prince Philip, it appears, was shuttled amongst various family members … his maternal uncles Lord Milford Haven and Lord Mountbatten eventually taking charge of him.) Princess Andrew spent some time in a private “rest home” and eventually founded a religious community of women in the Greek Orthodox Church. Except at the wedding of The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh in 1947, she was (I believe) always seen in the garb of her religious community until her death. Her last years were spent with the British Royal Family and she died in England. She is buried in Jerusalem. The Duke of Edinburgh never ignored his mother nor was she pushed aside. Princess Andrew chose adifferent life and her family respected that.
