Crossword Genius

Journalists getting around including member of royal family (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

princess

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

'member of royal family' is the definition.
(princess is a type of royal)

'journalists getting around' is the wordplay.
'journalists' becomes 'press' (the press can mean the newspaper industry).
'getting' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'around' becomes 'inc' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'press' placed around 'inc' is 'PRINCESS'.

'including' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for princess that I've seen before include "Attractive woman" , "VIP" , "Daughter of a monarch" , "Royal title" , "Sovereign's daughter" .)
