'symbol of royalty' is the definition.
'sceptre' can be an answer for 'symbol' (sceptre is a kind of symbol). I'm unsure of the 'of royalty' bit.

'respect strange' is the wordplay.
'strange' indicates anagramming the letters.
'respect' with letters rearranged gives 'SCEPTRE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
