Regal request? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asking

This might be a double definition.

'regal' is the first definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'request?' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

(Other definitions for asking that I've seen before include "Enquiring" , "Begging" , "Appealing" , "Making enquiries" , "It demands explanation!" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
