'monarch's representative' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?

'anger over longer broadcast' is the wordplay.
'broadcast' is an anagram indicator (letters scattered or cast around).
'anger'+'over'+'longer'='angeroverlonger'
'angeroverlonger' with letters rearranged gives 'GOVERNOR-GENERAL'.

'showing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for governor general that I've seen before include "acting head of state" , "Commonwealth official" .)
