Comments on the clue
1.I'd prefer to see the fact that columnist is a pun indicated somehow.
2.Lots to like in this but I’m not sure the extra definition helps with solvability
3.why 2 defs for prince? And anyway should be new cutting cost, not the other way round?
4.Your first and third PRINCEs are the same definition twice.
