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

'one's destiny to be full' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'anger in french department?' is the wordplay.
'anger' becomes 'ire' (ire is intense rage).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'french department?' becomes 'lot' (department in southern France).
'ire' inserted inside 'lot' is 'LOIRET'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for loiret that I've seen is " Orleans and district".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
