Princess heard joking, then breaking down? (9)
I believe the answer is:
digesting
'breaking down?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to thinking as well as being present participle verbs.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I don't see?
'princess heard joking' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'princess' could be 'di' (Princess Diana) and 'di' is located in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'then' is the link.
