At just eight-years-old, Princess Isabella of Denmark left crowds in awe as she made her first official Royal engagement, with mum Crown Princess Mary proudly watching on.
It’s not every day you get a giant ferry named after you, even if you are a royal so Princess Isabella of Denmark decided this was a great excuse to make her first royal engagement and it seems she’s got her mum’s knack for winning over hearts!
On Saturday, Princess Isabella and her mum, Crown Princess Mary, headed to the Danish island of Samsø to greet crowds, christen a boat and pick some strawberries.
The eight-year-old royal made the trip to the tiny island to attend the naming ceremony of a ship named in her honour. Ordinarily, Isabella lets her mother lead the way at public events but this time around it was all about the young Princess – who absolutely shone as she mingled with locals.
Traditionally boats are christened by smashing a bottle of champagne on their exterior, appropriately though they opted for a bottle of the island’s famous blackcurrant juice to mark the ships maiden voyage.
In what was an eventful day for day the mother-daughter duo, they picked strawberries, mingled with locals and even dressed in water-proof overalls to trudge through water.
She may be third in line to the Danish throne, behind her father and older brother, but at eight-years-old Princess Isabella shows that she’s already fit to be Queen!
