Crossword Genius

Queen in embrace of Egyptian, Nefertiti (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anne

'queen' is the definition.
(Queen Anne, 18th-century queen)

'embrace of egyptian nefertiti' is the wordplay.
'embrace of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (I've seen 'embraced' mean this).
'ANNE' is hidden within 'egyptian nefertiti'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "Queen in 1702-14" , "One of two Henry VIII wives" , "She married Shakespeare" , "- - Hathaway, wife of Shakespeare" , "Henry's second" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
