Denmark's Princess Alexandra wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty during a visit to a building site.
Despite wearing a clean white jacket, the 41-year-old royal mucked in by picking up a trowel and doing a spot of bricklaying at a construction site in Hilleroed, near Frederiksborg Castle.
However, it was no ordinary brick that Alexandra set in the wall - but a slab of gold.
Princess Alexandra is currently rumoured to be dating photographer Martin Jorgensen - who is 15 years her junior.
The smitten pair are believed to have met during the filming of a television programme to mark Alexandra's 40th birthday.
The princess's new relationship comes a year after she split from husband Prince Joachim, whose mother is Queen Margrethe.
The royal couple got married in 1995, but separated nine years later and were divorced in April this year. They have two sons together, Prince Nikolai, five, and Prince Felix, three, who live with their mother.
If Princess Alexandra marries for a second time, she will lose her royal title.
