The company was founded by Ole Kirk Christiansen, who was a carpenter making wooden toys in the 1930s. He expanded into using plastic in 1940. The company name comes from 'leg godt', which means 'play well' in Danish. Billund is also the site of the first 'Legoland', which opened in 1968, and features attractions built from Lego bricks.

Answer: Princess Isabella
The Danish line of kings goes like this: Christian, Frederik, Christian, Frederik, Christian, Frederik and so on. As crown prince Frederik will be king one day and his firstborn son will get the throne after him, he had to name his firstborn son Christian. But when his second-born was a girl, they could choose which ever name they wanted. Crown prince Frederik's younger brother, Prince Joachim, married Chinese Alexandra Christina Manley in 1995. They had two sons, in 1999 and 2002. As Prince Joachim is the next one to get the throne, they could also choose what ever names they wanted for their children as long as they had the names Frederik or Christian in them. So they were named Prince Nikolai William Alexander Frederik and Prince Felix Henrik Valdemar Christian.
