Daily stories involving snide lad riled unhappy couple (7,3,5)
I believe the answer is:
charles and diana
'unhappy couple' is the definition.
(Prince Charles and Diana Spencer)
'daily stories involving snide lad riled' is the wordplay.
'daily' becomes 'char' (I've seen this before).
'stories' becomes 'ana' (suffix in words like Shaksperiana).
'involving' is an insertion indicator.
'riled' indicates anagramming the letters (letters must be irritated or riled up).
'char'+'ana'='charana'
'snide'+'lad'='snidelad'
'snidelad' anagrammed gives 'lesanddi'.
'charana' going around 'lesanddi' is 'CHARLES AND DIANA'.
