Here is the text

Comments on the clue
1.Very deceptive, since the break comes after "royal". Not convinced by the surface, though.
2.Like the wordplay, not quite as keen on the surface
3.Comes across as just some expeditious words strung together, not a natural sounding surface
4.A good inventive try but surface story stretching it.
