Conservative type, as queen’s husband is? (7)
I believe the answer is:
consort
'queen's husband is?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'conservative type' is the wordplay.
'conservative' becomes 'con' (I've seen this in other clues).
'type' becomes 'sort' (I've seen this before**).
'con'+'sort'='CONSORT'
'as' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for consort that I've seen before include "Keep company" , "Husband or wife of a monarch" , "A monarch's spouse" , "Group playing music" , "helpmate" .)
