Person seen as unusual confronting monarch? (6)
I believe the answer is:
fisher
'unusual confronting monarch?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'person seen as' is the wordplay.
'person' becomes 'fish' (fish is a kind of person).
'seen as' becomes 'er' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'fish'+'er'='FISHER'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fisher that I've seen before include "UK shipping forecast area" , "One who angles" , "Jeremy - (Beatrix Potter)" , "Marten; angler" .)
