Untamed shrew entertaining animal dancing couple preferred? (7,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

william and kate

'couple preferred?' is the definition.
(Prince William and Kate Middleton)

'untamed shrew entertaining animal dancing' is the wordplay.
'untamed' becomes 'wild' (synonyms).
'shrew' becomes 'kate' (Katherina or Kate in The Taming of the Shrew).
'entertaining' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'wild'+'kate'='wildkate'
'animal' anagrammed gives 'liaman'.
'wildkate' placed around 'liaman' is 'WILLIAM AND KATE'.
