Stud could come out with these stories about royal? Prince goes first (6)
I believe the answer is:
pliers
'stud could come out with these' is the definition.
'stories about royal? prince goes first' is the wordplay.
'stories' becomes 'lies' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'royal?' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'prince' becomes 'p'.
'goes first' says to put letters next to each other.
'lies' placed around 'r' is 'liers'.
'liers' after 'p' is 'PLIERS'.
(Other definitions for pliers that I've seen before include "Nippers" , "Gripping tool, kind of pincers" , "Workmen's tools" , "Hand tool used for gripping" , "Small tool for gripping things" .)
