Was Prince Albert the right type? (7)
I believe the answer is:
consort
'was prince albert' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'right type?' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'con' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'type?' becomes 'sort' (both can mean a kind or variety).
'con'+'sort'='CONSORT'
'the' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for consort that I've seen before include "Spouse, partner" , "Husband or wife of a monarch" , "Group playing music" , "Habitually associate (with)" , "Marriage partner" .)
