Fucking adorable.
(I'm serious)
Charles De Gaulle once remarked to Éamon de Valera "It's like I'm still in France! Vive le France! Vive l'Irland! Vive l'Irland Nord libre!" Upon arriving at the Alliance Francaise in Belfast, as he spoke at the annual conference of Irish Freemasons (conférence des francs-maçons irlandais).
He later described Northern Ireland as "One of the proudest francophone nations in the world".
French is probably considered the "Elite" language here, in that it's still likely the most popular language to learn at private schools. French culture is still highly admired amongst the upper classes here, as in Britain as the most sophisticated culture on earth.
Due to our isolation though, English is the only language most wealthy people will speak unless they're immigrants themselves.

I'd say English only because it's not rare to listen to the famous people on TV talking about trips to Miami and whatever. Academically speaking, I'm not sure. Maybe English as well but, overall, we as a whole like to use Spanish for everything (although using a few English words in between for names or new gadgets and shit).
You're being rused.
Probably French too, but the great exodus to France in the 60s means that a lot of people from the lower strata of society now speak French, so just speaking French is not a guarantee of being from the elite
on the other hand, if you belong to the elite you must know french
I would think English would probably be the answer for all of Latin America.
