Regal pop star (6)
I believe the answer is:
prince
This could be a double definition.
'regal pop' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's an association between them I don't understand?
'star' is the second definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prince that I've seen before include "He's a royal" , "Machiavellian ruler" , "Son of a sovereign" , "Sovereign's son" , "Canadian province" .)
