French heir (7)

I believe the answer is:

dauphin

(Other definitions for dauphin that I've seen before include "Eldest son of the French king" , "French royal heir" , "Formerly, the eldest son of the King of France" , "Heir apparent to the French throne" , "French king's eldest son" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
