Princess Isabella of Denmark has revealed a surprising new military name as her family visited the 19-year-old at the Guard Hussar Regiment in Slagelse.<\/p>\n

Images shared by the Danish Royal House showed the princess wearing the name \u201cFredensborg\u201d on her military uniform, after the town where she grew up.<\/p>\n

The name follows an old Danish military tradition in which recruits are identified by their hometown or the place where they were raised.<\/p>\n

The palace also shared an update on Isabella\u2019s progress at the regiment.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrincess Isabella is among the first to earn 11 months of military duty and is now well underway with her life as a military officer at the Guards Regiment in Slagelse,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n

King Frederik X, Queen Mary, Crown Prince Christian, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine visited Isabella during the regiment\u2019s family day on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The palace said the visit offered the royal family a glimpse into her new life.<\/p>\n

They \u201chad the opportunity to see and experience Her Royal Highness Princess Isabella in the new settings and meet the Princess\u2019 co-recruits\u201d.<\/p>\n

The Danish Royal House shared images of Isabella looking polished in her military uniform and beret as she reunited with her parents and siblings.<\/p>\n

One photo showed Queen Mary embracing her daughter.<\/p>\n

Isabella also showed her family around the regiment before taking her place in the front row as King Frederik carried out the parade inspection.<\/p>\n

The second child and eldest daughter of King Frederik and Queen Mary joined the Guard Hussar Regiment in August.<\/p>\n

Her enlistment marked a first for Denmark\u2019s royal family<\/a>, with Isabella becoming the first female member of the royal family to undertake military service.<\/p>\n

Her older brother, Crown Prince Christian, also served with the Guard Hussar Regiment before beginning officer training.<\/p>\n

Denmark expanded conscription last year to include women through the same lottery-based system used for men amid growing security concerns across Europe.<\/p>\n

Before the reform, women could join the military from age 18, but only voluntarily.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, Isabella won praise for her historic military decision<\/a> after previously making headlines over a controversial music festival appearance.<\/p>\n

The princess also made headlines for a milestone appearance<\/a> where she paid a stylish tribute to Australia ahead of beginning her military service.<\/p>\n
