I believe the answer is:

person

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

'that of a humble' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'worker taking in the royal society?' is the wordplay.
'worker' becomes 'peon' (peon is a kind of worker).
'taking in' is an insertion indicator.
'the royal society?' becomes 'rs'.
'peon' placed around 'rs' is 'PERSON'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for person that I've seen before include "Type" , "present appearing in this" , "character" , "Individual human being" , "he's the third" .)
