Crossword Genius

Accepting, thanks to monarch (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taking

'accepting' is the definition.
(taking is a kind of accepting)

'thanks to monarch' is the wordplay.
'thanks' becomes 'ta' (UK informal version of 'thank you').
'to monarch' becomes 'king' (male monarch).
'ta'+'king'='TAKING'

(Other definitions for taking that I've seen before include "Seizing, appropriating" , "infectious" , "Removal" , "acceptance" , "Accepting" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
