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.
