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

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.
