Install Queen, one seen around north (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enthrone

'install' is the definition.
(I know that enthrone is a type of enthrone)

'queen one seen around north' is the wordplay.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'seen around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'north' becomes 'nth' (nth can mean an abbreviation for north).
'er'+'one'='erone'
'erone' placed around 'nth' is 'ENTHRONE'.

(Other definitions for enthrone that I've seen before include "Put a monarch in place" , "Exalt as royalty" , "Place on monarch's seat" , "Install as a 16" , "put in one's place" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
