Comments on the clue
1.PRINTS and PRINCE are not true homophones
2.IMO both definitions of PRINCE are too obscure
3.prints as hp for prince doesn't work for me
4.Unfair homophone indicator between identical-enumeration homophones.
5.'to be of' link a bit clumsy, and surface doesn't mean much to me sorry
6.“Of” doesn’t work as a connector .
