Princess Isabella’s 1st birthday party

Born April 21, 2007.

Mary, Fred and Christian gather around Isabella — and a heart-shaped cake — to celebrate her 1st birthday.

She may only be one, but Isabella seems too sophisticated for ankle-biting.

A regal-looking little Isabella plays games with mum.

Mary says that Isabella has a very different temperament from her older, more docile, brother Christian.

…but on a family ski trip, Isabella and Christian looked like birds of a feather.

Isabella happily sits outside with mum on a sunny day.

…but she’s less impressed with her grandma Queen Margrethe’s knee.

The Princess was on her best behaviour at her christening on July 3, 2007.

“Lille Pigen” looked angelic on her christening day.

Just a year ago, after much speculation on what “Lille Pigen” would be named, the princess was christened Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe.
