One remaining devoted to a leader or government (8)

I believe the answer is:

loyalist

(Other definitions for loyalist that I've seen before include "Patriot" , "One true to a cause" , "Patriotic supporter" , "One true to monarch or government" , "One staying in support of a ruler or government" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
