Insignia of royalty in other respects (8)
I believe the answer is:
sceptres
'insignia of royalty' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'other respects' is the wordplay.
'other' indicates an anagram.
'respects' is an anagram of 'SCEPTRES'.
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for sceptres that I've seen before include "'Ceremonial staffs, of royalty, say (8)'" , "Batons borne by kings" , "Insignia of royalty" , "Offer respects to crowns" , "Royal staffs for press etc" .)
