Denmark's Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary, the former Mary Donaldson of Tasmania, are seen in this picture as the proud parents leave Copenhagen University Hospital in April 2007 with their new-born daughter and son Prince Christian.

The royal baby was named Isabella Henrietta Ingrid Margrethe at her christening on July 1, 2007.

Isabella is said to be the 21st most popular name in Denamrk and is among the names of Prince Frederik's forefathers.

Second name Henrietta was the name of Princess Mary's late mother; Ingrid the name of Frederik's favorite grandmother; and Margrethe is the current Queen.

At her christening, Princess Isabella wore a lace christening robe first worn by her great-grandfather King Christian X in 1870. She was baptised in the same font used for all Danish royals since 1671.
