Royal rule (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reign

'royal rule' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for reign that I've seen before include "Rule over in Niger" , "Control" , "Sit on a throne" , "Monarch's time in the job" , "Monarch's period" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and The Star Tribune.
