However, the outfit isn’t new to the birthday photo shoot. According to the website garderoberoyale.be Elisabeth borrowed both the top and earrings from her elegant mother, Queen Matilda of Belgium (49).
– He stole the whole show
The white top is said to have been worn by the mother only once in 2009 and comes from her favorite fashion supplier Natan. She wore the earrings, among other things, on a royal mission in 2018.

Trendsetter
The fact that young princesses and hereditary princesses borrow dresses from their mothers seems to have become a trend in European royal homes. And was it our own Princess Ingrid Alexandra who initiated it?
People turn their backs on Märtha
In any case, for a long time she has largely used her mother’s clothes and accessories only on official occasions. Like, for example, when she celebrated his 18th birthday in January and when it officially celebrated June day. Then everyone actually chose the ladies of the household recycleas a gesture to the princess who is very attentive to the environment.

In hindsight, we saw it as the princess Isabella of Denmark (15) and Crown Princess Leonor (16) barter clothes with mothers. We also know that Swedish Princess Estelle (10) posed in clothes inherited from both her mother and da Princess Ingrid Alessandra.
Today’s young people are generally environmentally conscious and know that the clothing industry is one of the most polluting industries. And while the young princesses haven’t talked directly about their outfit choices, there is every reason to believe they want to send out a signal with their reuse.

Close ties
We don’t know to what extent the young princesses or their parents talked about it together. But it’s no secret that there are strong links between the various royal houses and that they usually take great pleasure in exchanging experiences between them. They are not only colleagues and relatives, but also good friends.
Princess Ingrid Alexandra herself said that this community is, and will become, even more important to her.
– I am so lucky to have many heirs to the throne of the same age in Europe now, so I hope we can eventually use each other, said the princess in her interview with NRK in connection with the day of authority.
– We have a lot of contacts, especially with Sweden and Denmark. We visited Victoria and Daniel, Estelle and Oscar this summer, it was very nice, she continued.
