Labour reverse has lesson for royal house (8)
I believe the answer is:
balmoral
'royal house' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'labour reverse has lesson' is the wordplay.
'labour' becomes 'lab' (abbreviation).
'reverse' says the letters should be written backwards.
'has' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'lesson' becomes 'moral' (as in the moral of the story).
'lab' reversed gives 'bal'.
'bal'+'moral'='BALMORAL'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for balmoral that I've seen before include "Queen's castle" , "Royal retreat in Scotland" , "Royal holiday residence on the River Dee" , "Queen's Scottish home" , "Bonnet" .)
