The unseen photos from Princess Isabella's wild festival day in THAT X-rated t-shirt - as fans argue over her and older brother Prince Christian 'letting loose'
Princess Isabella of Denmark shocked royal fans around the globe when she was pictured at a music festival wearing an X-rated t-shirt. And now we can reveal more unseen photos of King Frederik and Queen Mary 's daughter, 18, as she partied it up at Smukfest in Skanderborg with her older brother Prince Christian on Wednesday. Controversy erupted when the second eldest child of the reigning royal couple was pictured at the festival wearing a black t-shirt emblazoned with the translated words 'f***ed him yesterday'. The message was accompanied by an arrow pointing off to the side. The princess' t-shirt was a merchandise top for Danish hip hop group Suspekt, who were performing at Smukfest. The music trio are renowned for their explicit and sexually charged lyrics. But the newly obtained pictures show that Isabella certainly wasn't alone in wearing the suggestive top, with other concert-goers wearing similar Suspekt band t-shirts. Danish political commentator Jarl Cordua was among the critics of the royal's choice of attire. He explained that while he understood the need for 'royals letting loose a little', he also believed there were 'limits' - and that the distasteful shirt crossed the line. The new pictures reveal that Isabella completed her casual festival look by wearing an orange bucket hat emblazoned with the festival nickname 'Smuk'. The band merchandise t-shirt worn by the princess and other festival go-ers is emblazoned with the translated words 'f***ed him yesterday', which are in reference to the Suspekt song titled 'F****** her yesterday' Despite the furore her attire would later attract, Isabella appeared very much at ease among the festival crowd. The following day, on August 7, Isabella was once again pictured at the festival - although it appears she wisely decided to leave her Suspekt band t-shirt at home. Instead, Isabella re-wore her orange bucket hat along with a white t-shirt, navy shorts and gumboots as she headed off to enjoy another day of live music. The royal was pictured walking through the busy festival with a group of her pals. Later in the day, the princess had ditched her bucket hat and was seen standing amongst the packed crowd to watch rapper Tessa's set. Princess Isabella appeared to be immersed in the performance as she was pictured smiling, dancing, closing her eyes and even singing along passionately. Fellow attendees were reportedly stunned to spot the king's daughter casually dressed and partying alongside them at the event. But eagle-eyed royal pundits spotted a small nod to Isabella's formal duties. She was still wearing the same jewellery that she'd been pictured in just a few days earlier during a royal photo call at Gråsten with her parents King Frederik and Queen Mary and younger brother Prince Vincent. On both occasions, Isabella wore a heart-shaped pendant from Danish brand Akua Objects alongside her trusty 'P' necklace worn many times before. Isabella wasn't the only royal partying it up at the Danish music festival. Mary and Frederik's eldest son, Crown Prince Christian, was also pictured at Smukfest - but his appearance was far less scandalous than that of his younger sister. On the same day that Isabella was pictured wearing that t-shirt, the heir to the throne was seen in the audience rocking out with friends to Danish chart-toppers Aphaca. The 19-year-old was dressed conservatively in a checked button-up shirt with a t-shirt underneath. The prince appeared to be smiling and having a great time as he blended among the sea of fans at the show. According to local Danish publication B.T., although Isabella and Christian attended the festival in a private capacity, they were both happily taking selfies with fans and even politely stopped to answer a few brief questions from the media. An opinion piece published by B.T.'s royal commentator Fie West Madsen noted that this was 'mature and wise behaviour'. '[It] shows that even though the royal and now adult children are letting loose, drinking a pint of beer and maybe wearing a bold t-shirt, they are still aware of their role as royals,' he said. Crown Prince Christian appeared to enjoy being in amongst the busy crowd at the show - and at times was only just visible among a sea of people 'Because let's be honest - the balance between being royal on the one hand and enjoying a normal teenage life every now and then is definitely not easy. 'Everything the Crown Prince and Princess Isabella do is noticed, and they know it very well. But this summer they have shown that they can easily be young and royal at the same time.' The Danish royal family is not new to Smukfest, with King Frederik in particular a renowned past regular attendee. Over the years, Frederik, 57, was regularly seen enjoying the festival with a beer in hand and taking selfies with other festival-goers. Some years saw him accompanied by his wife Queen Mary, 53, and more recently he was joined by Christian and Isabella. Interestingly, Frederik has also previously enjoyed watching Suspekt at the same festival. It would seem the King has passed this appreciation for their music onto his daughter, judging by her unexpected choice to wear one of the band's shirts. King Frederik has not attended the concert since he became regent last year. Nevertheless, it would certainly seem that Frederik has instilled his love of Smukfest in his children.

New book reveals shocking age Prince Andrew lost his virginity
Prince Andrew lost his virginity aged 11, according to a startling claim made in a new biography. The Duke of York, now 65, is the subject of a bombshell book Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, which has aired a litany of damning allegations about the ousted royal in the wake of controversy over his relationship with dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The book, which was written by renowned royal biographer Andrew Lownie, attempts to uncover when Andrew became 'obsessed with women', pinpointing it back to his premature sexual experiences. According to a chapter titled 'Randy Andy', the prince had his first sexual experience aged just 8 before losing his virginity at 11. A source said, 'He admitted that his second sexual experience came before he turned 12 and when he was 13 he had already slept with more than half-a-dozen girls.' Another unnamed source who knows the prince added to The Telegraph they were, indeed, aware of Andrew's 'sexual experiences at what most of us would consider as too young an age.' 'The Duke's personal story is far more complex than people realise or have ever been prepared to properly consider,' the source went on. Lownie wrote of his decision to include the unsavoury claim in his book, arguing, 'It seemed to me it was part of building a picture of behaviour, and how it shaped his life. 'It does perhaps explain some of the behaviour later on. 'I think he [Andrew], in some ways, has been a victim. It does make him much more sympathetic, in a way.' Lownie is said to have interviewed more than 100 people to build the explosive book, which took him four years to write. It comes after another damning excerpt was leaked this week pertaining to Andrew's links to Epstein, who died aged 66 in a Brooklyn jail in 2019. It included allegations Andrew met Epstein years earlier than he claimed, that they had 'shared women', and that Epstein once said the duke was 'perverted animal in the bedroom' and 'the only person I have met who is more obsessed with p***y than me.' In 2019, Andrew told the BBC during his infamous Newsnight interview he first met Epstein in 1999, but Lownie alleges that Andrew's former private secretary Alastair Watson confirmed the duo were introduced in 'the early 1990s'. According to Lownie, Epstein once described the duke as a 'serial sex addict.' 'From the reports I've got back from the women we've shared, he's the most perverted animal in the bedroom. He likes to engage in stuff that's even kinky to me – and I'm the king of kink,' Epstein reportedly said. Ivan Novikov, Epstein's personal driver in New York, also told Lownie, 'Whenever Andrew was in town I'd be picking up young girls who were essentially prostitutes. 'One time I drove him and two young girls aged around age 18 to a hotel. Both girls were doing lines of cocaine. Prince Andrew was making out with one of them.' Prince Andrew is yet to respond to claims made in the book, which also delves into his unusual relationship with ex-wife Sarah Ferguson.
