Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden proved she wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty, as she took part in a range of adventurous activities during a visit to Sodermanland County on the southeast coast of the country today. 

The heir apparent to the Swedish throne took part in a spot of horse-riding and canoeing during the visit to the picturesque town, which is the dukedom of her nephew Prince Alexander.

The mother-of-two, 41, who is no stranger to multiple outfit changes, dressed very practically for the trip and even found time to change her shirt and shoes. 

Princess Victoria opted for a blue checked shirt, blue jeans and black boots for her first activity, horse riding at the Skottvangs Mine Crown.

The royal appeared to be enjoying herself, and pulled a playful face for the camera as well as sticking her legs out to the side during the ride.

Victoria, who is the eldest child of King Carl XVI Gustaf, was also seen wearing a loose fitting blue and white striped shirt during the visit.

The royal swapped her black shoes to don a pair of white trainers, perfect for exploring the vintage railroad in Sodermanland County.  

Crown Princess Victoria looked relaxed as she posed for a photo with County Governor Liselott Hagberg today while inside one of the trains.

Although Victoria kept her accessories to a minimum today, she was sure to stay safe during her time on the water by donning a life-jacket.

Victoria, who is married to Prince Daniel, 45, looked completely in control as she sat in the front of a white canoe and steered the way.  

Crown Princess Victoria studied diplomacy and Swedish foreign policy before becoming a full-time working member of the royal family.

The glamorous Yale graduate, who speaks four languages, was not expected to take to the throne when she was born in 1977 but a change in the law of succession three years later changed that, allowing her to overtake her brother Carl Philip.

In 2010, she married her former personal trainer Daniel Westling in front of 1,200 guests at Stockholm Cathedral.

They have since settled comfortably into public life with their two children, Princess Estelle, five, and Prince Oscar, who is three.
