Poles separately included in amounts quoted for king’s daughter (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

princess

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

'daughter' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Royal daughter ' mean 'princess' so perhaps 'daughter' could also mean 'princess')

'poles separately included in amounts quoted for king's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is present in the answer.
'amounts' could be 'es' (e is a kind of amount) and 'es' is found within the answer.
'king' could be 'r' (r is abbreviation for rex) and 'r' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for princess that I've seen before include "Royal lady" , "Important woman" , "Sovereign's daughter" , "VIP" , "Daughter of a monarch" .)
