Queen Mary praised as 'exceptional mother' following her comments on Princess Isabella's controversial clothing controversy
In an unexpected turn of events, Princess Isabella, the eldest daughter of Queen Mary and King Frederik, found herself in the spotlight once again. The princess, who is 23 years old, wore a controversial t-shirt at the Danish music festival Smukfest on August 7.
The t-shirt, a merchandise shirt for the hip hop group Suspekt, known for explicit and sexually-charged lyrics, bore a Danish slogan that translates to "f*** him yesterday". This choice of clothing sparked a stir, particularly due to the group's provocative nature and the t-shirt's suggestive message.
The t-shirt incident was not the first time Princess Isabella had made headlines. In 2021, a hot mic incident occurred during her brother Crown Prince Christian's confirmation when she was just 14 years old. During the ceremony, she was caught on camera sniping at her mother with words that translated to: "Did you not say I should go with Grandma? Are you completely gone/confused?"
Queen Mary's response to the t-shirt scandal was a clever and humorous reference to the earlier incident. Translated from Danish, her statement read: "My first thought was - is she completely gone?" and "But let's put it this way... some decisions are better than others." Her response was praised for being diplomatic and appropriate, while also maintaining a touch of humour.
Princess Isabella herself acknowledged the 2021 hot mic incident during her first official royal address in April 2025. She admitted to the microphone being on and said, "Today, I have no doubt that the microphone is on."
Meanwhile, the Women's Rugby World Cup 2025 has teamed up with Wilkinson Sword Intuition as its official shaving partner. The tournament, officially underway, will culminate at Twickenham Stadium on September 27.
In other royal news, Queen Mary addressed her daughter's t-shirt scandal on August 28. The press had a significant reaction to the hot mic incident a few years ago, and this latest scandal is sure to generate similar interest.
Princess Isabella was last seen in public with members of the royal family just weeks before the t-shirt scandal. As the royal family navigates this new controversy, the public waits with bated breath to see how the situation unfolds.
