Denmark’s Princess Nathalie is taking part in the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, US, from September 25 to October 10 just ten weeks after giving birth to her son.

The princess is also promoting a new line of clothing for dressage and show jumping at the event. The main attraction of the range is a pair of high-tech breeches, designed in collaboration with American designer Elizabeth Israel.
