Princess Josephine, 14, daughter of King Frederik and Queen Mary, attended the premiere of the musical 'Alice in Wonderland' at Copenhagen’s Tivoli Crystal Hall, surprising many with her unexpected appearance.
The private visit highlights the young princess’s passion for performing, and while not on the official royal schedule, Josephine’s attendance last Saturday was a delightful surprise. She wanted to show her support for the theater world, where she had already taken some initial steps herself.

She rocked a soft glam makeup look, including peach blush. Throughout the evening, she smiled and posed with members of the musical’s cast.

She also met an old friend of the royal family, Fritz Schur, chairman of the Fairy Tale Theater, who had invited her on several previous occasions.
Josephine was not alone at the event. She was accompanied by her friend Liva and reunited with several actors she worked with during Peter Pan a few years ago.

Last year, she showcased her talent in a performance for Denmark’s televised Christmas calendar. “It was fun to be part of that, and it’s something I could consider doing again,” she told the Danish press.

Though still early in her academic journey, her repeated involvement in stage productions and public support for the arts suggest a genuine passion.
Royal commentators note that, like her mother, Queen Mary, who has long championed cultural initiatives, Josephine may carve out her own niche within the royal family by becoming a patron of the performing arts.
