Now, it is often the setting for 'important events' for the family, such as weddings, anniversaries and birthdays. 'The princess is photographed in the Knight's Hall of Frederick VIII's Palace in Amalienborg, and on the portraits Her Royal Highness wears the Order of the Elephant with a star chest... and a miniature Order portrait of her father, His Majesty the King.' And they say it could sit in the new ‘gov.uk wallet' currently being designed by the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, which can be used for official digital documents such as drivers' licenses.
Other images showed Isabella from when was around five years old on family trips in Tisvilde, a seaside town in Denmark, and her feeding a horse - along with more recent snaps of her with the family border collie, Grace. The Academy, initially founded by composer Niels W Gade in 1867, is 'the eldest professional institution of musical education in Denmark and the largest with focus on classical music, with approximately 400 students'. Queen Mary is a 'Protector' of the institution.
Taking to social media, the King and Queen wrote: 'When spring soon turns into summer, and the trees around Fredensborg Castle turn green again, the Royal Family will traditionally move their residence to the Chancellery House.' He added: ‘We believe this will reduce administrative burdens on schools, and in the future could also be utilised by parents of younger children to support transition from primary to secondary school.' Education minister Stephen Morgan said: ‘It is high time exam records were brought into the 21st century, and this pilot will allow schools and colleges to focus on what they do best: teaching the next generation rather than being bogged down in bureaucracy.' Pepe Di'Iasio, General Secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders, said: 'The Education Record app represents a positive step forward in making greater use of digital technology in education and will bring benefits to students, schools and colleges. James Bowen, assistant general secretary at school leaders' union NAHT, said: ‘It makes a lot of sense to look into modernising how exam results are handled and any moves to cut bureaucracy and costs are welcome.
However, pupils will still receive a hard copy, and schools will continue to open as normal on results day to welcome pupils and give advice (pictured: a DfE prototype for the new 'Education Record' app) Ministers hope the app could be rolled out as early as 2026, meaning teenagers will no longer have to collect their results in person (pictured: Brighton College pupils picking up their GCSE results last year)
