Can speakers of Romance languages understand Romansh?

Romansh vs Romanian vs Italian vs French | Can they understand each other? - YouTube

Romansh is a Romance language spoken in the Swiss canton of Grisons. Together with German French, and Italian, it forms the official languages of Switzerland. However, it is spoken by about 44,354 people in Switzerland or 0.85% of the population of Switzerland, making it a minority language. It is sometimes grouped by linguists with Ladin and Friulian as the Rhaeto-Romance languages, though this is disputed.

What do you think of the Romansh language? Personally, as a Spanish speaker, I always found French and Romanian among the hardest of the Romance languages to understand, but this one makes those two languages sound like a piece of cake. People like to say French is the most Germanized Romance language, but Romansh makes me think otherwise.
