I believe the answer is:

priceless

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'self-centred young royal' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adjectives. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'north weirdly deemed to be of unparalleled worth' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'worth' could be 'price' (price is a kind of worth) and 'price' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'less' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'from the' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
