Ross

I believe the answer is:

air conditioning

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

'germany originally wanting this vehicle feature' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'one royal in a state in' is the wordplay.
'one royal in' becomes 'airing' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a state' becomes 'condition' (condition is a kind of state).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'airing' enclosing 'condition' is 'AIR-CONDITIONING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for air conditioning that I've seen before include "Publicity about health" , "Environmental control system" , "regulation of atmosphere" , "Restaurant may have it" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
