Princess Elisabeth made her tiara debut last year at Princess Ingrid Alexandra’s 18th birthday gala dinner. Meanwhile, the Norwegian Princess was photographed wearing a tiara for the first time in portraits to mark her 18th birthday.

Prince Christian will celebrate his 18th birthday on Oct. 15. Hours before his birthday gala dinner that Sunday, the Prince will appear on the balcony of Frederik VIII’s Palace with his family and Queen Margrethe.
