emperor

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'another monarch' is the definition.
'emperor' can be an answer for 'monarch' (emperor is a kind of monarch). I'm not sure about the 'another' bit.

'english queen entertaining mp or' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'entertaining' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inviting in, as for dinner).
'e'+'er'='eer'
'eer' enclosing 'mp' is 'emper'.
'emper'+'or'='EMPEROR'
