Famously touchy royal? (5)

I believe the answer is:

midas

(Other definitions for midas that I've seen before include "King who turned what he touched to gold" , "Golden-touch king" , "my gift turned out a curse" , "Gold-creating king" , "King of Phrygia who had a golden touch" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
