Crossword Genius

Diana's account causing amusement (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diversion

'amusement' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'diana's account' is the wordplay.
'diana' becomes 'Di' (Di is short for Diana).
'account' becomes 'version' (version is a kind of account).
'di'+'version'='DIVERSION'

'causing' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for diversion that I've seen before include "Detour" , "Alternative route" , "Amusement -- temporary redirection" , "entertainment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
