One of those stoned types synonymous with Queen found in The Seychelles with Deep Purple? (8,4)

I believe the answer is:

victoria plum

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

'one of those stoned types synonymous with queen' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'in the seychelles with deep purple?' is the wordplay.
'in the seychelles' becomes 'Victoria' ('Victoria' is part of 'seychelles').
'with' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'deep purple?' becomes 'plum' (I've seen this in another clue).
'victoria'+'plum'='VICTORIA PLUM'

'found' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for victoria plum that I've seen before include "Fruit called after queen" , "Red fruit" , "Variety of fruit" , "Preserve item" .)
