Time that is left for King Charles? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spaniel

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

'king charles?' is the definition.
(King Charles spaniel is a breed of spaniel)

'time that is left' is the wordplay.
'time' becomes 'span' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'that is' becomes 'ie' (short for Latin 'id est', 'that is').
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'span'+'ie'+'l'='SPANIEL'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spaniel that I've seen before include "Alpines (anag)" , "Springer- - -" , "Animal" , "Long-eared dog" , "See 13" .)
