Queen Mary of Denmark has shared heartwarming pictures of her daughter  Princess Isabella to mark her 17th birthday. 

The royal, 52, shared the snaps on the household's official Instagram and said she would be celebrating her special day with both her family and friends. 

Isabella, also the daughter of King Frederik X, beamed as she posed alongside their Border Collie named Cocoa. 

The teenager looked stylish and donned a simple white t-shirt along with a classy beige trench coat and a pair of hoop earrings.

She also donned a gold necklace with a pendant in the shape of the letter B - which suggests that her friends and family call her 'Bella'.

The caption, originally in Danish, read: 'Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella has a birthday and turns 17 today.

'To mark her birthday, Her Majesty The Queen has taken new pictures of the Princess together with one of the Royal Family's dogs Coco. The princess is celebrating her birthday with family and friends.' 

Isabella wore her brunette tresses down in a wavy blowdry and opted for simple, natural makeup with a hint of blush.

The Palace shared two images of the school girl in front of a colourful piece of artwork, which complemented her neutral, elegant ensemble. 

In the first snap, she is seen grinning as she wraps her arm around Cocoa, whereas the second one featured a more serious posed-up monochrome picture of the pair.

Fans rushed to the comments to wish the Princess a happy birthday and comment on the lovely images that were shared by the family.

One wrote: 'Congratulations on your 17th birthday, wishing you and your family and friends a lovely day.'

Another penned: 'Happy 17th birthday! A lovely princess that we are all looking forward to following on the path of life.'

A third said: 'Happy 17th birthday, Isabella! I hope you have a lovely day.'

Isabella shares the same birthday as the late Queen Elizabeth II who died aged 96 on September 8, 2022. 

Her grandmother, Queen Margrethe of Denmark, recently celebrated her 84th birthday earlier this week on the 16 April.

The Palace also shared pictures of the Queen in a stunning lilac dress alongside her beloved sausage dog, Tilia, who used to belong to her late husband Prince Henrik.

The pictures were taken at Fredensborg Castle, which is the same place the Danish royal family celebrated her birthday in private. 

The royal residence is a setting only used for important events in the family such as weddings, silver wedding anniversaries and birthdays.

The former monarch had a hectic couple of months when she shocked the nation with the announcement of her abdication during her New Year's Eve live television segment. 

Just 14 days later, Margrethe, who ruled for 52 years, signed away the throne at a Council of State meeting and her son, Frederik, was crowned King of Denmark.

She said one of the reasons why she chose to give up the throne was because of her health issues, adding that she underwent surgery for her back in February 2023. 

She said: 'It went well, thanks to the skilled healthcare staff who took care of me. Of course, the operation also gave rise to thinking about the future - whether the time had come to leave the responsibility to the next generation.'

It has been agreed that she will continue to be known as Her Majesty Queen Margrethe and can fill in as regent if King Frederik, Queen Mary and Crown Prince Christian are abroad, ill or on holiday.
