SYMBOLISM
at Princess Isabella of Denmark’s confirmation on 30 April 2022:

• Isabella wearing Queen Alexandrine’s Pearl and Diamond Brooch – a christening gift from her grandmother, Queen Margrethe II, who herself had received the brooch as a christening gift from her grandmother, Queen Alexandrine, in 1940
  
• Parallels in the floral arrangements at Isabella’s christening in 2007 and her confirmation in 2022, respectively – both services held in the Royal Chapel of Fredensborg Palace
  
• Crown Prince Frederik in blue, Isabella in white (as is tradition for female confirmants in Denmark) and Crown Princess Mary in red formed the colours of the tricolore, the French national flag – possibly in tribute of Isabella’s beloved French grandfather, Prince Henrik, who passed away in 2018
• Isabella wearing the gold cuff bracelet that she was gifted by Queen Margrethe II on her fifth birthday. The tradition of gifting female descendants gold bracelets was introduced by Isabella’s great-great-grandmother, Princess Margaret of Connaught, who gifted her only daughter, Princess Ingrid of Sweden (later Queen of Denmark), a bracelet (identical to one worn by Margaret and her sister Patricia) in 1915. Ingrid since carried on the tradition and so did her three daughters Queen Margrethe II, Princess Benedikte and Queen Anne Marie
  
• Isabella wearing her mother’s Argyle Pink halo stud earrings from the Danish jeweller Hartmann’s. The diamonds stem from the Argyle Diamond Mine in Australia, her mother’s birth country
• Parallels between Isabella’s confirmation and her older brother Prince Christian’s confirmation a year before
