Reportedly, photos depict member of the royal household (6)
I believe the answer is:
prince
'depict member of the royal household' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'reportedly photos' is the wordplay.
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'photos' becomes 'prints' (I have seen 'Positive photos ' mean 'prints' so perhaps 'photos' could also mean 'prints').
'prints' sounds like 'PRINCE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for prince that I've seen before include "King's son" , "Senior male member of a royal family after the sovereign" , "Royal personage" , "Son of a sovereign" , "See 1" .)
