Leave the ship, Morning Queen in fine textured silk fabric? (8)
I believe the answer is:
gossamer
'fine textured silk fabric?' is the definition.
'gossamer' can be an answer for 'fabric?' (gossamer is a kind of fabric). I am not sure about the 'fine textured silk' bit.
'leave the ship morning queen' is the wordplay.
'leave' becomes 'go' (to go is to depart or leave).
'the ship' becomes 'SS' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain).
'morning' becomes 'am'.
'queen' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina).
'go'+'ss'+'am'+'er'='GOSSAMER'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gossamer that I've seen before include "Fine substance produced by spiders" , "Flimsy, delicate material" , "Some rags (anag.)" , "Fabric like spider's web" , "Filmy cobweb - very fine fabric" .)
