Itโ€™s not every day you get a giant ferry named after you, even if you are a royal so Princess Isabella of Denmark decided this was a great excuse to make her first royal engagement and it seems sheโ€™s got her mumโ€™s knack for winning over hearts!

On Saturday, Princess Isabella and her mum, Crown Princess Mary, headed to the Danish island of Samsรธ to greet crowds, christen a boat and pick some strawberries.

The eight-year-old royal made the trip to the tiny island to attend the naming ceremony of a ship named in her honour. Ordinarily, Isabella lets her mother lead the way at public events but this time around it was all about the young Princess โ€“ who absolutely shone as she mingled with locals.

Traditionally boats are christened by smashing a bottle of champagne on their exterior, appropriately though they opted for a bottle of the islandโ€™s famous blackcurrant juice to mark the ships maiden voyage.
