Princess Isabella of Denmark Made Her Tiara Debut in a Piece With a Special Royal History
For many, an 18th birthday is a significant milestone in moving from childhood to adulthood. It could suggest new opportunities, and new responsibilities, but for royal ladies there's an extra special achievement that comes with an 18th birthday—the chance to wear a tiara. Traditionally only worn by adult royals, being able to don a sparkling topper is considered a right of passage for princesses, and this week, Princess Isabella of Denmark revealed her own tiara debut in a set of new portraits taken for her 18th birthday.
Specifically, Isabella topped her orange Carina Grønning gown with the Daisy Bandeau Tiara, also known as the Turquoise Daisy bandeau. The piece, which features a floral motif of daisies with turquoise-inset petals and diamond-studded leaves, has a long royal history, dating back to Isabella's great-great grandmother, Crown Princess Margaret. Margaret, who was herself a granddaughter of England's Queen Victoria, carried the nickname Daisy with her when she married the future King Gustaf VI Adolf of Sweden in 1905. Margaret's daughter, Princess Ingrid, inherited the tiara following her mother's death in 1920 and brought it with her to Denmark when she married the future Frederik IX.
Poignantly, the tiara was, according to the palace, a gift from the princess's grandmother, Queen Margrethe, who also happens to be known by the nickname Daisy within the royal family. Per a release about the tiara, it can also be reconfigured as a bracelet.
Along with the tiara, Isabella also wore a sash of royal orders, including the Order of the Elephant, which is 'the oldest and most distinguished Danish order of chivalry,' according to the palace's website. She also wore a miniature portrait of her father, King Frederik X.
While her actual birthday was just yesterday, the princess started celebrating last week when she and other members of the royal family attended a special performance at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen.
