Queen Mary's eldest daughter Princess Isabella raises eyebrows with unconventional festival outfit

Queen Mary and King Frederik's eldest daughter has done something 'no other princess would dare' do, according to a Danish royal commentator. Princess Isabella, 18, was photographed with some friends at popular local music festival Smukfest, in Skanderborg on Thursday. Her older brother Prince Christian, 19, was also at the event, but it was Isabella's black band tee that's attracted the attention of some commentators in Denmark. The princess was seen wearing a yellow bucket hat and a T-shirt whose slogan translates to 'F**ked him yesterday'. Crown Prince Christian and Princess Isabella are attending the Smukfest in Skanderborg. ðŸ'¸Dan Mariegaard — ChristinZ (@ChristinsQueens) August 6, 2025 The top is merch from Danish hip hop group, Suspekt - whose music is so dark it's often described as horrorcore - and is a variation their song titled 'F**ked her yesterday'. The choice has ruffled some feathers, with Danish political commentator Jarl Cordua, reminding the teen that there are limits to appropriate royal behaviour. 'I'm in favour of the royals letting loose a little. They always have. They should definitely be allowed to. BUT. There are limits,' he said. 'Isn't that exactly what their [the royal family's] job is? To maintain a certain standard? To show some kind of style? Dignity? I doubt that everyone thinks that's the case when a royal celebrates promiscuity on a shirt. 'We'll probably live with that shirt, but I wouldn't recommend making it a habit. Being royal is an obligation. And it's probably time for someone to tell her [Isabella] that.' Meanwhile Danish TV presenter Jim Lyngvild said he was taken aback by the outfit at first and thought 'Oh, you can't do that,' but he's since come around to it and actually thinks it's great PR for the royal family. 'It shows that there is a new king who has, in many ways, an ordinary family that represents today's values,' he said. 'The time of the ladies in the hat is over, Princess Isabella is in. 'I LOVE that our royal youngsters also have personality and courage – and don't follow the neat pleated flow. 'There are no other princesses in the world who would dare to do that.' Isabella recently celebrated her 18th birthday with the release of official photos in an amber ballgown. She and her brother are expected to remain at Smukfest until the festival ends on Sunday.

Feature Video: dust - Drawbacks

Flash warning! This week's Feature Video from Newy rockers dust blends nineties grunge attitude with a stage made out of infinity mirors and some choppy Y2K editing - and absolutely zero 'Drawbacks'... except for the title of the track it was made for! Conceptualised by director Andrew Briggs on the initial vision of the band performing in a large, dark, high ceiling grungey room to a blurred crowd, it didn't take much for dust to get into the idea when it was first pitched. The band explains 'we had formed a great connection with Andrew while touring in 2024, we expressed similar interest in film and music videos… We wanted to blend a few different influences together and aimed to capture an energetic, frenetic crowd performance shot. We hadn't done that for a video before'. Andrew says much of the clip's inspiration is drawn from early 2000's and late 90's music videos from artists like Blur, The Vines and Nelly Furtado, as well as more contemporary music videos from artists including Billie Eilish, Disclosure and Mura Masa. 'Blending the two styles aimed to give a cinematic spin to the nostalgic direction' says Andrew about how he's aimed to bring together contrasting styles under the unifying, timeless concept of a live performance. 'We liked the idea of mixing a nostalgic gritty rock show with a contemporary rave european style warehouse scene' says dust. 'We were trying to show an ideal setting and crowd involvement for our live shows. Featuring closeups of individuals experiencing different emotions and our love of playing intimate small capacity venues.' With long time collaborator and friend Nikola Jokanovic (who co-directed dust's previous rage Wild One 'New High') on editing duties, dust's cinematic universe has maintained some continuity. 'Blending influences from ourselves, Andrew and Nikola created a tapestry of cohesive themes and imagery that we could build off of the initial idea' says dust. 'The addition of the light up dance floor and strobe lighting added a chaotic visual element in line with the nature of the band. Some of our most memorable nights while on tour have been finding clubs with dance floors and dancing and going wild.'
