Support queen with tiny, empty estate (8)

I believe the answer is:

property

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

'estate' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'support queen with tiny empty' is the wordplay.
'support' becomes 'prop' (prop is a kind of support).
'queen with' becomes 'er' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina. I am not sure about the 'with' bit.**).
'empty' means to remove the middle letters.
'tiny' with its centre taken out is 'ty'.
'prop'+'er'+'ty'='PROPERTY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for property that I've seen before include "Attribute; chattel" , "(A) characteristic; land, stocks etc." , "Asset" , "Owned item(s)" , "Belongings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
