Pester the second prince? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

harry

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

'pester' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'the second prince?' is the wordplay.
'the second' becomes 'h' (rnd letter of 'the').
'prince?' becomes 'arry' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'h'+'arry'='HARRY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for harry that I've seen before include "Persistently harass" , "Prince William's younger brother" , "Hound" , "Make repeated attacks on, badger" , "Ravage - pester" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
