Incredible moment Queen Mary's teenager daughter walks up to Amalienborg Palace and rings the doorbell to be let in
Princess Josephine of Denmark has caused a storm on social media after a video was shared showing her entering Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen.
The youngest daughter of Queen Mary and King Frederik X of Denmark delighted royal fans by casually entering her home like it was any other abode and not a royal residence.
Instagram account @copenhagenfrow, which spots famous faces in and around the Danish city, shared the clip to its profile with the caption, 'The princess got FROWED! casually walking into the palace.'
The 14-year-old, accompanied by a friend, strolled by the royal guard who was standing outside her home before entering a pin in the door and going through the gate.
Josephine cut a chic figure in a pair of oversized blue denim jeans, a white jumper, and a quirky black-and-white striped bag.
The original clip quickly gained over 200,000 views. It wasn't long before it was reshared on TikTok.
After an account shared the footage on TikTok, viewers took to the comment section to share their thoughts.
One said, 'The way they just casually open the door like opening an apartment door. I find it so adorable.'
Another thought similarly, adding, 'Ringing the doorbell like it's just any apartment building.'
'To you it's a palace, but to her it's just home,' said a third user in the comment section.
A fourth wrote, 'People say she doesn't act like a princess [and] she's just down to earth.'
It comes after Denmark's royal household released Princess Isabella's first official gala portraits to mark her 18th birthday last month.
The eldest daughter of Queen Mary and King Frederik X of Denmark, who enjoyed multiple events in honour of her birthday, posed for the photographs at Knight's Hall of Frederick VIII's Palace in Amalienborg.
Isabella put on a dashing display in a vibrant orange ballgown, which was adorned with the Order of the Elephant and a miniature portrait of her father.
The 18-year-old, who opted for a glowing makeup look, added a pair of turquoise and diamond earrings and a matching tiara.
The caption read: '18 years ago today Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella was born.'
'The birthday itself is marked with the publication of the Princess's first official gala portraits.
'The princess is photographed in the Knight's Hall of Frederick VIII's Palace in Amalienborg, and on the portraits Her Royal Highness wears the Order of the Elephant with a star chest... and a miniature Order portrait of her father, His Majesty the King.'
One day before Isabella's birthday, the Danish Royal Family shared a scrapbook of adorable intimate family pictures.
To mark her milestone birthday, the proud parents posted an array of childhood snaps of Isabella and her family throughout various stages of her life.
The royal family's Instagram caption read: 'Little glimpses from childhood to 18 years old.
'On the occasion of Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella's 18th birthday on Monday, Their Majesties the King and Queen share here a selection of memories.'
These included an adorable snap of Queen Margrethe - who abdicated the Danish throne in January last year - holding her newborn granddaughter shortly after she was born.
The former monarch was seen smiling as she looked down at Isabella while cradling her in her arms.

Another sweet black and white image also showed a young Isabella smiling as she clutched onto her mother's back.
A second endearing photograph showed older sister Isabella touching Mary's baby bump when she was pregnant with twins Josephine and Vincent in 2010.
The couple also chose a picture of Isabella - who is called Bella for short in some of the scrapbook captions - and her late grandfather, Prince Henrik of Denmark, who passed away in 2018.
The monochrome image showed the Princess wrapping her arms around Henrik, giving him a huge hug.
The extensive post also included snaps of Isabella with her Australian Scottish grandparents on Mary's side.
Mary's parents are Scottish, but they emigrated to Hobart, Tasmania, where she was born in 1972.
Her mother, Henrietta Clark Donaldson, sadly passed in 1997 following complications from a heart surgery when Mary was just 25 years old.
Her father, John Dalgleish Donaldson, remarried a British crime writer Susan Horwood, who writes under the name Susan Moody.
Elsewhere, another picture showed a young Isabella swimming and spending quality time with her father, King Frederik.

Other images showed Isabella from when was around five years old on family trips in Tisvilde, a seaside town in Denmark, and her feeding a horse - along with more recent snaps of her with the family border collie, Grace.
Princess Isabella reportedly enjoyied a private birthday celebration with family and loved ones to mark the occasion.
From this year onwards, Princess Isabella will also have her birthday added into the rotation of annual flag days, which are the official dates when the national flag is traditionally flown.
In addition to celebrating at the lavish Royal Theatre's Old Stage in Copenhagen last Tuesday, Isabella also had an earlier party on April 11, which, according to Hello, cost a staggering £32,542.

Revealed: The scathing words Prince Charles uttered when Harry was born because he 'wanted a girl'
It is no secret that King Charles has a strained relationship with his youngest son. After quitting frontline royal duties and moving his young family to California in 2020, the Duke of Sussex, 40, has been left in the dark when it comes to his father's cancer battle, only learning of his recent hospital visit on March 27 through media reports, according to People Magazine. And when Harry flew across the pond in early April to attend a hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London - a mere 2.5 miles from Buckingham Palace - he did not meet Charles. But the well-documented rift between father and son may go back even further than royal watchers realise. According to Diana herself, Charles was desperate to have two children - one boy and one girl. 'I knew Harry was going to be a boy because I saw on the scan,' she explained to Andrew Morton for his bestselling book Diana: Her True Story In Her Own Words. 'Charles always wanted a girl. He wanted two children, and he wanted a girl. I knew Harry was a boy, and I didn't tell him.' So when Diana gave birth to their second son Harry in the Lindo Wing of St Mary's Hospital on September 15, 1984, Charles could barely hide his disappointment. 'First comment was: "Oh God, it's a boy," second comment: "And he's even got red hair,"' Diana recounted to her trusted biographer Morton. In his own bombshell memoir Spare, Prince Harry said he was 21 the first time he heard the story of 'what Pa allegedly said to Mummy the day of my birth: "Wonderful! Now you've given me an Heir and a Spare - my work is done." 'A joke. Presumably,' Harry penned. 'On the other hand, minutes after delivering this bit of high comedy, Pa was said to have gone off to meet his girlfriend. So. Many a true word spoken in jest.' Outside the hospital, Prince Charles appeared to hide his true feelings and told the waiting journalists: 'He's wonderful. Absolutely marvellous.' It is no wonder the Diana would go on to tell friends that 'spiritually' their marriage 'ended the day Prince Harry was born', according to Morton. Charles told his official biographer Jonathan Dimbleby that he picked things back up with Camilla in 1986. Meanwhile it is alleged Diana's affair with army captain James Hewitt started around the same time. The royal couple, who had separate bedrooms at their homes for years stopped sharing the same sleeping quarters during an official visit to Portugal in 1987. The next few years saw Charles and Diana plagued with rumours of marital problems, culminating in the blistering tell-all of the collapse of their marriage as published by Morton in 1992. The Princess of Wales had secretly contributed to the book by providing Morton with audio recordings which would later be included in a 2017 ITV documentary. Diana claims in the recordings that Charles's disappointment at having a second boy rather than a girl persevered until Prince Harry's christening on December 21, 1984. After the ceremony at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, the future king allegedly told Diana's mother Frances Shand Kydd: 'We're so disappointed, we thought it would be a girl.' Frances then 'snapped his head off' and told him he should 'realise you are lucky to have a child', Diana added. The doomed royal couple announced their separation just months after the publication of Morton's book in 1992 and finalised their divorce in August 1996. Elsewhere in Morton's explosive biography, Diana reveals that the birth of her first son William - the heir - came with its own set of issues. The Princess of Wales told Morton she had to choose a date to be induced that fit around Charles's busy polo schedule. 'When we had William, we had to find a date in the diary that suited Charles and his polo,' she said. 'William had to be induced because I couldn't handle the press pressure any longer, it was becoming unbearable. It was as if everyone was monitoring every day for me.' Princess Diana added: 'Anyway, the boy arrived, great excitement. 'Thrilled, everyone absolutely high as a kite – we had found a date where Charles could get off his polo pony for me to give birth.

Rise, at last, Sir David Beckham? The footballer may finally be knighted
David Beckham is reported to be in line for a knighthood. He will become a Sir in the King's birthday honours list next week and his wife, Victoria, will be known as Lady Beckham, The Sun reported. The former England footballer has become increasingly close to the royals since becoming an ambassador for the King's Foundation last year. It will bring to an end years of speculation about whether and when Beckham will be knighted, and is also expected to provide some relief amid an ongoing rift with his eldest son Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz-Beckham. He was first nominated for a knighthood in 2011 but his nomination was blocked by the honours committee after he was caught up in a tax avoidance scheme which led to him being rejected by the inland revenue. Tax authorities cleared Beckham in 2021, opening the door to him getting the honour. He narrowly missed out on a knighthood in December's New Years Honours List which instead went to former England manager Sir Gareth Southgate, according to The Sun. Last year, Beckham revealed he had swapped beekeeping tips with the King before being given an ambassadorial role with the monarch's charity. The pair are both keen horticulturalists. Beckham said at the time: 'It was inspiring to hear from the King about the work of His Majesty's Foundation during my recent visit to Highgrove Gardens – and compare beekeeping tips!' He has repeatedly rubbed shoulders with the King and Queen, and wore a new rose named in the King's Honour when he met them at the Chelsea Flower Show last month. Beckham pinned a new pink and white bloom called The King's Rose to his lapel during his first ever visit to the show. He also appeared to thank the King and Queen for a thoughtful 50th birthday gift after celebrating the milestone earlier in May. 'You got it, didn't you?' the King asked him. 'It was incredible, thank you,' Beckham replied. 'It was very kind.' The Queen was heard to say: 'Nice to see you again, glad you got the roses.' Beckham celebrated his 50th birthday this month with a lavish party which was shut down at 3am over a noise complaint. His eldest son and his wife were absent, with a source telling The Telegraph that he and his wife, who is the daughter of US billionaire Nelson Peltz, feel that they have no meaningful private connection with the family and that he has been made to feel like an 'idiot' and 'stupid'. The younger Beckhams were instead recent guests at a Montecito party attended by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Peltz, 30, and Meghan, 43, were said to have found 'common ground' over their casting as meddling American wives breaking up Britain's most famous families. Meanwhile his second son Romeo Beckham has split with his girlfriend Kim Turnbull, according to the Daily Mail.

PlayStation State of Play: packed with games, but lacking real star power
Gaming New Bond and old Mortal Kombat made for a serviceable showing, but nothing more Skip 8 photos in the image carousel and continue reading You might well disagree with our assessment of last night's State of Play, the latest in a series of Sony livestreams in which upcoming games strut around to catch your eye. Whether you do or not probably depends on how much you love James Bond, samurai swords and fighting games. If you do like those things, you sound pretty hard, so we're happy to just defer to whatever you think and then buy you a new pint. Sorry. Have a good evening. Advertisement - Page continues below To us, though, it felt like a decent showing that lacked a real hype machine. There was a big new IP reveal in the form of 007 First Light , some admirable screen time given to more niche propositions like Baby Steps and Grasshopper Manufacture's Romeo is a Dead Man , and an exciting reveal from Nioh 3 . Still, if you find yourself watching an extended reveal of an official PlayStation fightstick at one of these livestreams, a nagging sense emerges that this probably isn't one for the ages. You might like No, fair enough. 007 First Light has a bit of triple-A glitz and glamour about it. And handing that franchise over to Io Interactive, the Danish studio behind the Hitman games, makes all the sense in the world. It was probably the biggest moment of the show, but seeing James Bond as a young floppy haired man who might easily have walked on from an Uncharted game left us neither particularly shaken nor stirred. Maybe we're just being harsh because of what they've done to Thief . Advertisement - Page continues below You'll want to take a seat: they've turned it into a VR game. No disrespect to the project or the platform, but this is a seriously respected series of immersive sims from the late Nineties to early Noughties we're talking about. The 2014 reboot suffered for having been pushed through the square hole of triple-A blockbuster conventions instead of being allowed to retain its aloof, slow-burning, hardcore qualities, so watching footage of someone waggling their hands cartoonishly around the screen while they pickpocket guards and shoot water arrows into fireplaces doesn't exactly quell the fears that might happen again. It's like hearing your favourite band have reformed, but only to appear on The Voice. Enough moaning, let's hear about some good games. Quite right, those exist too. Romeo is a Dead Man is the latest project from Grasshopper Manufacture, the legendarily idiosyncratic studio who made No More Heroes , Let it Die , and, in a supreme act of irony, No More Heroes II & III . This one sees you fighting hordes of undead, Dead Rising -style, and the combination of slick combat and a hyperactive mashup of visual influences makes it punch through the noise. It ought to be a lot of fun. Capcom's Pragmata looks like some imaginative sci-fi action with a faint whiff of Death Stranding to it. And speaking tangentially of Hideo Kojima, Metal Gear Solid Delta will be too, and although that's a rather more known quantity at this point (it's MGS3 running in Unreal Engine), it's a nailed-on part of our gaming diet this year when it arrives on 28 August. Thank you for subscribing to our newsletter. Look out for your regular round-up of news, reviews and offers in your inbox. Get all the latest news, reviews and exclusives, direct to your inbox. Glad you noticed. Nioh 3 and Ghost of Yotei provided a one-two punch of feudal era Japan swordplay, and demonstrated two distinct approaches to that time, place, and activity. The Nioh threequel will offer more ultra-demanding duels that reward deft inputs and quick reactions, while Sucker Punch's follow-up to Ghost of Tsushima will do that, but with a bigger health bar and more narrative choices. Anything else worth keeping an eye on? Now that we've had a cup of tea and put the Thief VR thing behind us, yes there is. The show might have been missing that 'Hold on, what ?' reveal moment, but its smaller beats were very pleasing. Like the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection , which takes an archival approach to the first four classic beat 'em ups plus their various spinoffs, bundling them all into one place where they're super complete – sorry, Komplete – and playable on modern hardware. And Silent Hill f , a horror spinoff from the famously misty mainline series, which invites you to 'find the beauty in horror'. At first sight this one seems to be about the worries of a girl in adolescence made manifest as gore-drenched nameless horrors with blades all over them. Um, is it ok if we have a go at finding the beauty in that while the lights are still on and we keep pausing to decompress with restomod Tiktoks? Ok, deal. This is only the start of all the big announcements and trailer-spamming though, with Summer Games Fest 2025 due to start in earnest on Friday 6 June. You can keep abreast with all its happenings by checking the official schedule.
