Fur almost wrong on Asian prince (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astrakhan

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

'fur' is the definition.
(astrakhan is a kind of fur)

'almost wrong on asian prince' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'wrong' becomes 'astray' (going astray is going wrong).
'on asian prince' becomes 'khan' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'astray' with its last letter taken off is 'astra'.
'astra'+'khan'='ASTRAKHAN'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for astrakhan that I've seen before include "Fur - city on Volga" , "Hark Satan (anag.)" , "Fur made from tightly-curled lambs wool" , "Cloth" , "Curly fleece of an Asian breed of lambs" .)
