The Danish royal, whose mum is Tasmanian-born Queen Mary of Denmark, finished secondary school on a high, with pictures showing the 19-year-old wearing a white cap while celebrating with her pals and riding through the streets of Hellerup on the back of a truck, a tradition known as studenterkørsel.
However, prior to taking part in her graduation festivities, the princess donned a sweet tribute to her mother’s Aussie background by wearing a skirt by an Australian brand.
For her official graduation ceremony at Øregård Gymnasium, Isabella wore a red top, matching red thongs and a long, flowing white skirt by popular Gen-Z label Meshki, which was founded in Sydney in 2013.
The flattering, high-waisted skirt, which is finished off with buttons on the waistline, retails for $123 online, however it is currently on sale for $103.
Isabella isn’t the only royal who decided to wear Australian labels on the big day, with her mother, Queen Mary, similarly choosing to wear a denim skirt by Aussie designer Zimmermann.
After graduating from high school, Princess Isabella is set to make history, with the young royal confirming in April that she will enlist in the military.
She will begin her service in August and will serve for 11 months, making her the first female member of the Danish royal family to do so.
The royal will undertake guard duty with the Guardhouse Regiment in Slagelse, and will be following in the footsteps of her older brother, 20-year-old Crown Prince Christian, who graduated from the Danish Army’s Lieutenant School last month, and is now officially a second lieutenant in the Royal Danish Army.
“The princess will be among the first to serve 11 months of military duty,” the Danish Royal Family said in an official statement.
“His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also served his military duty at the Gardehusarkasernen in Slagelse.”
According to Fie West, Danish tabloid BT’s entertainment editor, the princess’s decision to enlist comes across as a strong message from the monarchy regarding conscription.
“Technically, Isabella did not have to do military service, but here the Royal House chooses to take the lead and set a good example,” West said.
“Isabella is becoming a kind of role model for conscription.”
