Honour royal, ignoring no good President (5)
I believe the answer is:
mbeki
'president' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'honour royal ignoring no good' is the wordplay.
'honour' becomes 'MBE' (Member of the British Empire award).
'royal' becomes 'king' (male monarch).
'ignoring' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'king' with 'ng' removed is 'ki'.
'mbe'+'ki'='MBEKI'
Can you help me to learn more?
