Monarch’s substitute (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

regent

(Other definitions for regent that I've seen before include "One acting on behalf of an incapacitated monarch" , "Closely; almost" , "being temporarily in charge" , "Person appointed as acting monarch" , "Queen possibly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
