Claimant to a throne (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pretender

(Other definitions for pretender that I've seen before include "One acting" , "One who claims a title or position" , "Claimant to a throne, usually without just title" , "Claimant, like Bonnie Prince Charlie" , "fake" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and the Sydney Morning Herald.
