By the way, does anyone know if Catherine is actually fluent in Welsh? (I’ve read opposing answers.) I presume not as she’s from Swansea (not many people speak fluently in the South), and because her accent would probably still be a lot thicker otherwise… But am merely curious!

Reply to Ash- ‘Carys’ isn’t pronounced ‘Cuh-reese’ (least not where I’m from!), it’s really just as it looks: Ka-riss.

In an American accent it would, as Sarah said, sound more like Care-iss, although I hope Catherine herself doesn’t pronounce it that way… I know she’s virtually lost her accent, but I do hope she still pronounces Welsh names/words properly.

Cute story, and her kids are adorable.

I can appreciate the lovely image of family that this couple projects. It is impossible, however, to forget that this woman smoked while 8 months pregnant with her daughter; she was able to suppress almost all websites from publishing the photographs. So the fact remains that Catherine Zeta-Jones was undeniably less interested in her baby’s health than she should have been while pregnant.

Technically in Welsh, the name Carys would be pronounced “Cuh-reese.” But I think she pronounces it the more Americanized/English way which is Care-iss.

I am Welsh myself and Live only a few miles from where her parents live. I think its great that the children are learning welsh, once you pick up a few words the rest comes easily.

Well done! Keep the Welsh Lingo. Going!

Does anyone know how to pronounce Carys? I’m just curious.

Sarah’s note: Care-iss.

Sweet, but sort of a weird story to choose!:)

That’s pretty funny, lol. My dad’s family immigrated from Wales so I’m trying really hard to learn the language. It isn’t easy!
