Daughter and royal son display tempers (7)
I believe the answer is:
danders
'display tempers' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both feelings as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'daughter and royal son' is the wordplay.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'royal' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'son' becomes 's' (genealogical abbreviation for son).
'd'+'and'+'er'+'s'='DANDERS'
Can you help me to learn more?
