Body product plugged by recently crowned individual (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

laureate

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'individual' is the definition.
(laureate is a kind of individual)

'body product plugged by recently crowned' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'by' could be 'at' and 'at' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for laureate that I've seen before include "Acclaimed pacifist" , "One honoured for great achievements" , "Honoured poet" , "Person honoured for great achievements" , "This poet is Britain's official appointment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
