Cold as princess taken with street worker (7)
I believe the answer is:
distant
'cold' is the definition.
('distant' can be similar in meaning to 'cold')
'princess taken with street worker' is the wordplay.
'princess' becomes 'di'.
'taken with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'street' becomes 'st'.
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'di'+'st'+'ant'='DISTANT'
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for distant that I've seen before include "Far apart in space or time" , "Aloof" , "Absent - coming from a far-away place" , "Remote in time or place" , "overseas?" .)
