English queen invested in fuel for peer (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coequal

'peer' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'english queen invested in fuel' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'e' (abbreviation).
'queen' becomes 'qu'.
'invested in' is an insertion indicator.
'fuel' becomes 'coal' (coal is a kind of fuel).
'e'+'qu'='equ'
'equ' going within 'coal' is 'COEQUAL'.

'for' is the link.

(Another definition for coequal that I've seen is " Having the same importance".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
