What Happened

Princess Isabella, the 19-year-old daughter of King Frederik X and Queen Mary of Denmark, has officially commenced her 11-month mandatory military service. Following the completion of her high school education, she reported for duty at the Antvorskov Barracks in Slagelse to join the Guard Hussar Regiment. She has reportedly declined to accept a salary or daily allowance during her service, opting to rely on financial support from her parents instead.

The initiative was recently updated to include women and extend the duration of service to 11 months.
