  • Denmark's Princess Isabella just turned 18, and her birthday portrait was distinctly Gen Z.

  • Her official birthday portraits were more formal and smartphone-less.

Apple's iPhone has found its way into the most Gen Z royal portrait ever.

The Danish royal family put out a celebratory Instagram post on Tuesday, a day after Princess Isabella's 18th birthday.

The princess looked regal in a silky orange off-the-shoulder gown, accessorized with a turquoise tiara, earrings, a teal sash, a gold ring, and a tennis bracelet. A miniature portrait of her father was pinned to her sash.

But one accessory in the picture made her look more like a Gen Z teenager than anything else — she was holding an iPhone, as though she was mid-text when her mother, Queen Mary, snapped the photo.
