Seeking a full time Queen (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

after

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

'seeking' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'a full time queen' is the wordplay.
'a full time' becomes 'aft' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'queen' becomes 'ER' (short for Elizabeth Regina ie Queen Elizabeth).
'aft'+'er'='AFTER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for after that I've seen before include "Following - behind" , "Pursuing" , "Following, consequent to" , "Post, later than" , "In pursuit of, behind" .)

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