Freebooter has place beneath queen (9)

I believe the answer is:

plunderer

'freebooter' is the definition.
(I know that freebooter can be written as plunderer)

'place beneath queen' is the wordplay.
'place' becomes 'pl' (abbreviation used in postal addresses).
'beneath' becomes 'under' (under means beneath or underneath).
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'pl'+'under'+'er'='PLUNDERER'

'has' acts as a link.

(Another definition for plunderer that I've seen is " robber".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
