How the clue works
Right, so Royal is your definition there - a female royal, in other words. Now for the wordplay: take PRESS, as in newspapers, and that's the "describing" bit wrapping round something else. Take ZINC (a metal) and knock off its crown, that's the top letter Z, leaving you with INC - pop that inside PRESS and you get PR-INC-ESS.
