One’s exploited, unlike Victoria? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

amused

'unlike victoria?' is the definition.
(Queen Victoria supposedly said 'we are not amused')

'one's exploited' is the wordplay.
'one's' becomes 'am' ('one is' can humorously mean 'I am').
'exploited' becomes 'used' (synonyms).
'am'+'used'='AMUSED'

(Other definitions for amused that I've seen before include "Made (someone) laugh" , "Delighted" , "was entertaining" , "Queen Victoria wasn't!" , "Kept someone entertained" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
