Princess Isabella all smiles at first official engagement
Crown Princess Mary and Princess Isabella

Wearing matching power blazers, Princess Isabella was the spitting image of her mother Mary at her first official engagement over the weekend.

Isabella, who is the eldest daughter of Mary and Frederik, toured Samsoe, an island off the east coast of Denmark, with her mother.

The pair arrived to be greeted by crowds of fans before the official ceremony took place, which involved christening a ship in Isabella’s honour.

Usually a sacrificial bottle of champagne would be shattered over the bow of a ship to christen it, however eight-year-old Isabella released a bottle of Samsoe Baer blackcurrent juice.

After posing with posies for official photographs the pair travelled across the island to admire the local agriculture.

Isabella pet the local wildlife and ate some local strawberries.
