View Romeo as a prophet! (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

seer

'a prophet' is the definition.
(both can mean someone who tells the future)

'view romeo' is the wordplay.
'view' becomes 'see' (synonyms).
'romeo' becomes 'r' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.).
'see'+'r'='SEER'

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for seer that I've seen before include "Forecaster" , "I envisage" , "Prophet or clairvoyant" , "Fortune-teller" , "wise fellow" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
