Making enquiries from the throne (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asking

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

'making enquiries' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'from the throne' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'from' could be 'in' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'in' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for asking that I've seen before include "Direction a question" , "Making enquiries" , "Presenting petition" , "For the ___; freely available" , "Inquiring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
