The Danish royals and their extended family turned out to celebrate Princess Isabella’s 18th birthday at a glitzy concert.

Proud parents, King Frederik and Queen Mary, posed for photographs with their four children on the red carpet as they arrived at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen on Tuesday night.

Birthday girl Princess Isabella was the belle of the ball in a glittering navy tulle gown with silver embroidery on the back.

Her younger sister, Princess Josephine, 14, matched her in a blue jumpsuit with caped sequin sleeves, while Queen Mary, 53, looked elegant in a black satin off-the-shoulder top with an embellished skirt.

Meanwhile, King Frederik, 56, and his sons, Crown Prince Christian, 19, and Prince Vincent, 14, looked smart in tuxedos.

Family members joined them for the celebration including King Frederik’s mother, Queen Margrethe, Prince Joachim’s sons, Count Felix and Count Nikolai, and Queen Mary’s sister, Jane Stephens.

Princess Isabella’s actual birthday falls on 21st April. Last week, the Danish royals attended a special event in her honour at Aarhus City Hall, which showcased talent from local youth organisations.

All together

The Danish royals were reunited to celebrate Princess Isabella’s coming of age. Crown Prince Christian made the trip to Copenhagen from Antvorskov barracks in Slagelse, where he is currently undergoing military training.

King Frederik, Queen Mary and all four of their children made quite the glamorous entrance on the red carpet.

As well as her shimmering ballgown, the princess sported a pair of her mother’s diamond pendant earrings, purchased from Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers in 2017.

Birthday dress

Isabella’s beautiful dress was a princess-style ballgown with draped detailing across the bodice, created by Mary’s go-to designer, Jesper Høvring.

She wore her brunette locks in a sleek bun, opting for a smoky blue eye makeup look with gloss on her lips. 

The dress code did not call for a tiara on this occasion.

Isabella is yet to make her tiara debut, but according to BILLED-BLADET, she may be gifted one on her actual birthday.

Queen Mary’s look

Queen Mary brought back a Malene Birger ensemble she first debuted in 2007 – the year Isabella was born.

The Australian-born royal also chose to wear the necklace, earrings, brooch and bracelet from the Danish Ruby Parure – the first set of major jewels she wore before her wedding to then Crown Prince Frederik in May 2004.
