Comments on the clue
1.The surface makes no sense.
2.Not a fan of closed-ended HIPS, and root issue with the second half
3.I think cryptically giving prince as princesss without ss is a bit disappointing
4.Starts well but ends up rather nonsensical
5.The definition and wordplay for 'prince' are too similar IMHO
6.Two weaknesses IMO: the same root word for both royals, and the hidden word is at the end of its hider.
