Queen Mary's daughter, Princess Isabella of Denmark, has broken with royal protocol by sharing a candid photograph showing her holding an iPhone whilst wearing her first official tiara.
The striking image was released on the Danish Royal Family's social media channels on Tuesday, one day after the princess's 18th birthday celebrations.
In the photograph, captured by royal photographer Steen Evald in the Knight's Hall of Frederik VIII's Palace, the daughter of Queen Mary and King Frederik X is seen wearing a tangerine gown whilst holding her mobile phone in a burgundy case.
The princess personally thanked well-wishers on social media, signing off as "H.K.K Prinsesse Isabella" for the first time.

Royal fans praised the modern approach, with one commenting: "Fantastic picture with a twinkle in the eyes and telephone in hand. Real youth."
The tiara worn by Princess Isabella was a special 18th birthday gift from her grandmother, Queen Margrethe.
The Danish Royal House confirmed the delicate headpiece features turquoise and diamonds set in flower patterns, creating a meaningful connection to Queen Margrethe, whose family nickname is "Daisy".
The palace explained the piece is a "bandeau" style tiara made of gold and adorned with 11 rosettes of daisy-like flowers in decreasing sizes.

The historic piece was made in the late 19th century and originally belonged to Crown Princess Margareta of Sweden, before being passed to Princess Ingrid as a confirmation gift in 1920.
The versatile tiara can also be disassembled and worn as a bracelet, according to the palace.
For her milestone portraits, Princess Isabella wore a regal orange satin gown created by Danish designer Carina Grønning.
The ensemble was complemented by her Order of the Elephant sash and regalia, along with a miniature portrait of King Frederik adorned with pearls and diamond crosses.
