Comments on the clue
1.Nice definition, surface rather implausible, I think
2.Really good use double us of 'being'
3.Well done. A clear winner. Loved the use of "being". Thanks for pointing it out in explanation as I may have missed it otherwise.
4.Slightly ambiguous – is the speaker defending the queen or her description? Clever use of "being" in definition.
