Alarm bells went off among royal watchers when they recently saw the youngest daughter of Queen Mary of Denmark wearing a plaster cast.
Princess Josephine, 13, was pictured with two other girls during the filming of ‘Time Travel 2’, a Christmas Advent series in Denmark set in 1994.
The teenager was confirmed to have a small role in the series, but many were concerned when her schoolgirl Kate appeared in two episodes with a broken arm.
While royal fans were happy to see the youngster on the big screen, they were concerned that she had actually been injured.
Josephine previously broke her arm while horse riding when she was just four years old.
This left many fans concerned that her bone was weak and broken again.
However, the palace confirmed to Danish tabloid Ekstra Bladet that the cast was just a prop for the show and that Josephine is perfectly fine.
This is the second time that Princess Josephine has tried her hand at acting. Last year she starred in a stage production of Peter Pan at Tivoli’s Glass Hall.

She was also scheduled to appear in the stage production of Pinnochio, but seemingly disappeared from the cast.
Princess Josephine did not have a speaking role in her first on-screen appearance, but she is rumored to have some lines in the second episode.
The princess has taken a course at the acting school of the Fairytale Theater in Søborg and dreams of pursuing an acting career.
And it seems it runs in the family, as Queen Mary once appeared on television in Australia.
In 1998, the mother of four was featured on a broadcast by V-Line Trains, a regional transport company in Victoria.
In the short, funny commercial, Mary plays a passenger reading a newspaper while a fellow traveler next to her opens a packed lunch with some sandwiches.
He then secretly passes one of them into a huge suitcase on the overhead bin. A hand comes out of the suitcase and takes it.
“It’s now easier to get a friend on the train for free,” the ad then says. ‘Two for one ticket, in May.’
But the images were not what they seemed – and were part of props for her film debut
Josephine’s paternal side of the family also has a penchant for acting, as her grandmother, Queen Margrethe, delved into the industry.
The former Monarch, who resigned in January 2024, made her film debut in 2009, as an extra in the film The Wild Swans.
The film is a retelling of Hans Christian Andersen’s classic fairy tale; she also worked on it as a screenwriter.
She has been highly praised for her work and has won a Robert Award for her role in Ehrengard: The Art of Seduction, a Danish film produced by Netflix.
The story follows a shy prince and an expert who try to teach him the art of seduction, but something goes wrong.
Margrethe scooped the title of costume designer of the year for the film and posted about her success on Instagram.
