Telephones princess about divisions? To the contrary! (7)
I believe the answer is:
ridings
'divisions? to the contrary' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'telephones princess' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'princess' could be 'di' (Princess Diana) and 'di' is found within the answer.
'telephones' could be 'rings' ('ring' can be a synonym of 'telephone') and 'rings' is found within the leftover letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'about' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ridings that I've seen before include "tracks through the wood?" , "from Yorkshire?" .)
