Order parting gift after Queen makes way for husband (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

behest

'order' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'parting gift after queen makes way for husband' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'way' could be 'st' and 'st' is present in the answer.
'husband' could be 'h' and 'h' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'bee' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for behest that I've seen before include "Command, bidding" , "Order" , "(At someone's) command" , "Command - Thebes (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
