A supporter of privilege (3)

I believe the answer is:

leg

'a supporter' is the definition.
(eg support for a table)

'of privilege' is the wordplay.
'of' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'LEG' is hidden in the letters of 'privilege'.

(Other definitions for leg that I've seen before include "Lower limb" , "Run < on" , "prop" , "Support; cricket side" , "Limb; stage" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
