To support monarch is correct (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

proper

'is correct' is the definition.
(associated in meaning)

'to support monarch' is the wordplay.
'to support' becomes 'prop' (prop is a kind of support).
'monarch' becomes 'ER' (abbreviation for Elizabeth Regina, British Queen).
'prop'+'er'='PROPER'

(Other definitions for proper that I've seen before include "Conforming to etiquette" , "Suitable and correct" , "Appropriate or decorous" , "well-behaved" , "Refined" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
