'articulated crown's annoyance' is the definition.
'pique' can be an answer for 'annoyance' (pique is a kind of annoyance). I'm unsure of the 'articulated crown's' bit.

'peer announced' is the wordplay.
'peer' becomes 'peek'.
'announced' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'peek' sounds like 'PIQUE'.

'or' acts as a link.
