'royal' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'prestige's premier dinnerware set out to welcome head of china' is the wordplay.
'premier' suggests taking the first letters.
'set out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to welcome' indicates putting letters inside (in sense of 'inviting in').
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'prestiges' is 'p'.
The initial letter of 'china' is 'c'.
'p'+'dinnerware'='pdinnerware'
'pdinnerware' is an anagram of 'prineandrew'.
'prineandrew' enclosing 'c' is 'PRINCE ANDREW'.
