Crossword Genius

Royal residence listed crown as lost (7,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

windsor castle

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

'listed crown as lost' is the wordplay.
'lost' indicates an anagram.
'listed'+'crown'+'as'='listedcrownas'
'listedcrownas' with letters rearranged gives 'WINDSOR CASTLE'.

(Other definitions for windsor castle that I've seen before include "Royal residence" , "Queen's residence" , "palace" , "royal house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
