Princess Isabella of Denmark, Countess of Monpezat (Danish: Prinsesse Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe til Danmark, komtesse af Monpezat; born 21 April 2007) is a member of the Danish Royal Family. She is the daughter of Crown Prince Frederik and his wife, the Australian-born Crown Princess Mary. She is the fourth grandchild and only granddaughter of Queen Margrethe II of Denmark and her husband, Henrik, Prince Consort of Denmark. She is the first girl born into the Danish Royal House since the birth of Queen Anne-Marie of Greece in 1946. The infant princess is third in line to the Danish throne, after her father and her older brother, Prince Christian. Until her name was announced at her christening, she was being referred to as "Lillepigen" by her parents and the Danish media. [1][2][3] an affectionate nickname meaning 'the little girl'.

At noon on 22 April, a 21-gun salute was fired from the Sixtus Battery at Holmen Naval Base in Copenhagen and from Kronborg Castle in North Zealand to mark the arrival of a royal child.
