Princess Isabella was the picture of her mother in more ways than one as she appeared alongside members of her family on the balcony of Frederik VIII's Palace to celebrate King Frederik's 57th birthday.

The daughter of Queen Mary and King Frederik, 18, was spotted sporting a bright orange single-breasted suit by Harris Wharf, commanding attention as a well-dressed heir to the Danish crown.

The blouse was first worn by her mother in April 2018 when she opened the photo exhibition 'Transformation'. It was styled by the royal style queen with a pair of wide-leg black trousers and patent stilettos. It was also worn when she gave the opening speech at the virtual conference Womenomics Nordic Business Conference in 2021.
