The Danish royals are preparing for a lavish birthday celebration – and no expense is being spared.
King Frederik and Queen Mary's eldest daughter Princess Isabella is set to mark her 18th birthday on April 21, with events being planned the week before to avoid an Easter clash.
The first: a soiree at Aarhus City Hall a week before the milestone on April 11.

"The birthday will be marked officially on 11 and 15 April in Aarhus and Copenhagen, respectively, with celebrations that pay tribute to the communities of the young generation with culture, creativity, sustainability and volunteerism as the principal elements," the royal household confirmed of the celebrations.
It will be broadcast by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation, meaning that viewers can tune in from home.
