Princess Isabella of Denmark has stoked a debate over royalty vs modernity in her new photograph, clicked on her 18th birthday and published on the Danish royal family's website. Flaunting her diamond tiara, a gift from her grandmother Queen Margrethe, teamed with a satin orange off-shoulder ball gown, the princess can be seen fiddling with her iPhone.
"This is bizarre…. Can’t decide if it’s pro or anti-modern phone addiction. Is this ‘the ultimate modern princess’ or a depressing indictment of modern culture?" one commented.
Some found it adorable, relatable that like a normal teen, she was busy with her mobile phone. "Love this official picture of Danish princess Isabella on her 18th birthday - when old world royalty meets today’s tech reality," one wrote.
"I love this royal family so much, she is just like a normal teenager, got her iPhone in hand and having her parents take quick snap shots of her. Happy birthday," one wrote.
The photo was taken by royal photographer Steen Evald. Posting the picture online, the princess wrote: "Thank you so much to everyone who helped me celebrate my 18th birthday. "It has been really nice that so many people have spent their time, thought and effort to make my day so special. This means a lot to me."
