Should this memorial be near Victoria?

Ross

I believe the answer is:

albert

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

'should this memorial' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'be near victoria?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'be' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for albert that I've seen before include "Keep watch" , "Old watch chain" , "Prince with 24" , "London bridge, Memorial" , "Victim of lion" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
