A Cell Phone in the Crown: Princess Isabella's 18th Birthday Photo
Amusing snapshot captured during her 18th birthday celebration - Celebratory image captured following her milestone 18th birthday event
In an unexpected turn, a day after her 18th birthday, Princess Isabella of Denmark, the second-born daughter of King Frederik X (56) and Queen Mary (53), shared a striking photo that blended history and modernity. The young woman, dressed regally in a tiara, sash, and even cradling a cell phone, was captured on the sidelines of her first official gala portraits shoot.
"It Means a Lot"
The humorous snap was unveiled along with her official portraits on her birthday, April 21. Breaking the royal silence, Princess Isabella spoke about the photo, saying, "I want to thank everyone who made my 18th birthday special. It was so touching to see so much thought and effort put into my day. This means a lot to me."
Queen Margrethe's Gift
The tiara, passed down through generations, was a gift from her grandmother, Queen Margrethe (85). This unique accessory, called the Turquoise Daisy bandeau, dates back to the 19th century. It was initially owned by Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden, then passed to Princess Ingrid upon her death. Princess Ingrid brought the tiara to Denmark when she married the future Frederik IX. Intriguingly, the tiara can be dismantled and worn as a bracelet.
The Danish Royal Clan
Princess Isabella's birthday was celebrated with a series of events. She is the second child of the royal couple, second in line to the Danish throne, after her older brother Crown Prince Christian (19), and younger than the twins, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine (14).

I'm glad to see Princess Isabella, the second-born daughter of King Frederik X and Queen Mary, used a cell phone on her 18th birthday, a traditional day marked by regal pomp and modern technology in Denmark. Notably, she was pictured with a cell phone while wearing the Turquoise Daisy bandeau tiara, a priceless heirloom passed down through generations. After her birthday, she shared this unique snapshot on social media, signifying her inclination towards fun and entertainment, reminiscent of her grandmother, Queen Margrethe's playful nickname, "Daisy."
