"Royal Consort" is usually Albert, so Albert gets A might be Alberta. However, that's a province not a state, and I can't figure out where "crowd" fits in...

C(A MILL) A?
Does a crowd mill around? Can they be synonyms?

Many thanks. Apologies, it's 7 letters. I'm new here, not that it's a decent excuse.

_A_I_E_ is what I have. I like the logic of Camilla, although I think my other letters are right. I started with Alberta, too, but of course it fails on the state as well as the rest.

Camilla parses perfectly. A Mill (crowd) in CA (California). What is the clue which gives you the E?

Agree with Camilla.

I agree and have had another look at that errant E. I had it as the 7th letter from 'Reluctant car crash victim's listed'. I fear I have erred.

Di's (Princess Diana- car crash victim) inclined (listed).
Seems a bit uneccesary to bring Diana into into

Thank you! I have to apologise again, this time for misreading my N for a T. That incompetence contributed greatly to the whole failure.

Many thanks to all.
