Royal female gets incorporated in newspapers (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

princess

'royal female' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'incorporated in newspapers' is the wordplay.
'incorporated' becomes 'inc'.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'newspapers' becomes 'press' (the press is the newspaper industry).
'inc' placed within 'press' is 'PRINCESS'.

'gets' is the link.

(Other definitions for princess that I've seen before include "Royal girl" , "Daughter of a monarch" , "Important woman" , "VIP" , "Daughter of a sovereign" .)
