<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">egyptian queen</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for cleopatra that I've seen before include "Egyptian queen, d. 30 BC" , "Queen of the South" , "ruler" , "repeatedly needled by chisellers" , "Her Needle is on the Embankment in London" .)
