Crossword Genius

Queen in banner (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anne

'queen' is the definition.
(Queen Anne, 18th-century queen)

'in banner' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'ANNE' can be found hidden inside 'banner'.

(Other definitions for anne that I've seen before include "'---- of Green Gables', novel by Lucy Maud Montgomery" , "Queen 1702-1714" , "One of Henry VIII's wives" , "- - of Cleves" , "Boleyn or Hathaway, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
