special gift from Queen Mary – DiLei

A teenager with a very sweet look, cultured and intelligent just like her mother. Isabella of Denmark turned 17 on April 21, 2024 and to celebrate he did not choose big proclamations or pompous events, as is his style. But Queen Mary decided to pay tribute to her publicly with a special gifta way to celebrate his Isabella beyond the certainly not easy period that the Danish Royal Family is going through.

The gift from Queen Mary of Denmark for her Isabella

For decades we have been accustomed to classic official portraits taken in unlikely “embalmed” poses that seemed to have come out of a catalogue. By now, however, the new generations of Royals have moved away from this formal style, giving way to photographs that increasingly represent these “mythological figures” (which are not mythological) in the as natural as possible. Kate Middleton has done it many times, to cite the most famous example, she who has always been a great fan of photography and loves to immortalise best moments in the company of her children and husband William.

And apparently even Queen Mary of Denmark is of the same opinion, so much so that it was she herself who took the camera in hand to give her Isabella, fresh from her birthday, the best gift: two shots in the company of his beloved dog Coco, splendid in all its naturalness and spontaneity. These are the photos that any mother who is in love and proud of her little girl who is growing in grace and beauty, who is experiencing an important phase and who, above all, still has your whole life ahead of you and many dreams to come true.

“Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella Today he turns 17 – we read in the caption of the Instagram post, translated from Danish -. To celebrate her birthday, Her Majesty the Queen took new photos of the Princess together with one of the Royal Family’s dogs, Coco. Princess celebrate his birthday with family and friends“.

Isabella of Denmark, the first Princess since 1946

Born on April 21, 2007 at Rigshospitalet, Isabella is the second daughter of Queen Mary and King Frederick. Those seventeen years after that very happy event seem like a century, given the latest events that shocked the couple. In addition to the sudden abdication of Queen Margherita and their ascension to the throne, the situation was made worse by the paparazzi attacks on the King who seems to have a habit of betrayal.

Isabella’s birthday for Queen Mary is also an opportunity to move away from this “shadow”, a ray of light in a very simple period. The arrival of the Princess into the Danish Royal Family was truly very important, because it was the first female born since 1946. The last was Queen Anne Marie of Greece.

Sweet and cultured, Isabella is a good, studious and composed girl, who doesn’t like to appear too much and is thinking about building his own future. Like his older brother Christian – first heir to the throne in line of succession – he attended Tranegårdskolen and then moved on to high school, the Ingrid Jespersens Gymnasieskole. Since August 2023 she has enrolled at the Öregård Gymnasium in Hellerup, like her father Federico and her uncle Giacomo.
