I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'are they entitled to fix' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adverb but the answer is not.

'prices around the financial centre?' is the wordplay.
'around' is an insertion indicator.
'centre?' indicates the central letters (I've seen 'centres' mean this).
The middle of 'financial' is 'n'.
'prices' enclosing 'n' is 'PRINCES'.

(Other definitions for princes that I've seen before include "king's followers?" , "Male royals" .)
