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

'uk royal' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'composed war dance piece' is the wordplay.
'piece' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'EDWARD' is hidden in the letters of 'composed war dance'.

Can you help me to learn more?
