Princess Mary’s birthday portraits of Princess Isabella

My, how she’s grown!

All eyes are on the Queen at the moment as she celebrates her milestone 90th birthday but she’s not the only royal marking a special day.

Gorgeous little Princess Isabella of Denmark is celebrating her ninth birthday and in celebration, Crown Princess Mary of Denmark has snapped some photos of her.

Princess Isabella, Princess Mary and Frederik, Crown Prince of Denmark’s oldest daughter, posed at Frederik VIII’s Palace in Amalienborg while her mother got behind the camera to take the images.

The beautiful three portraits were released via the Danish Royal Family website Kongehuset.

The young royal looks lovely in a metallic pink skirt and floral top, while her dark blond locks are worn out over her shoulders.

Isabella is also wearing the gold bracelet that all Danish princesses receive on their fifth birthday.

The tradition began in 1915 and Queen Ingrid carried it on with her daughters after her mother Princess Margaret of Connaught died.

Princess Isabella is fourth in line to the throne after her mother and older brother, Christian.

It’s not the first time Princess Mary has played photographer.

Earlier this year, the 44-year-old released a set of photos to commemorate her twins Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine’s fifth birthday.

The photos were taken at Bonorong Park Wildlife Centre in Tasmania – Princess Mary’s home state.
