Reigning - not her? Not he! (2,3,6)
I believe the answer is:
on the throne
'reigning' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'not her? not he' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'not' is 'ont' which is within the answer.
'he' could be 'ron' (short for Ronald) and 'ron' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
