Queen Mary’s Wry Response to Princess Isabella’s Festival T‑Shirt

The quip followed questions about Isabella’s Suspekt lyric shirt from Smukfest that drew attention earlier this month.

Overview

  • During an Aug. 26 press stop on Samsø, Queen Mary was asked about her daughter’s outfit as the royal couple wrapped a four-day summer cruise on the Royal Yacht Dannebrog.
  • She replied, “My first thought was — is she completely gone?” and added, “Some decisions are better than others,” as King Frederik laughed beside her.
  • Princess Isabella, 18, had worn an official Suspekt T‑shirt at Smukfest featuring a lyric translated as “[expletive] him yesterday,” with a white arrow printed to the side.
  • Festival reporting noted the top was common merchandise for the band performing at the event, with other concertgoers wearing the same design.
  • The exchange was brief and good‑humored, and the couple moved on to other questions during the visit.
