A royal meeting calls for new coats (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascot

'a royal meeting' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new coats' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'coats' with letters rearranged gives 'ASCOT'.

'calls for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "racing centre" , "Berkshire racecourse - coast (anag)" , "English racecourse in Berkshire" , "sporting venue" , "Type of necktie" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
