Many thanks all!
May I ask one more please?
The clue is : Allied with Italian , twice scoffed about First Lady (11)

I have C?N?E?E?A?T? "confederate" fits and that I suppose meets the allied bit. But I simply cannot work out any of the other parts. Could someone help me please?

Confederate - 'con' (It. "with") + 'fed & ate' (about) 'ER' (Queen; first lady)
CON is Italian for with (allied)
then two words meaning ATE round ER ( the Queen - first lady )
Con - with Italian
Fed + ate - twice scoffed around
ER - Elizabeth Regina 1st lady
Lie in King. You are wonderful! And I am thick! I see it so clearly now, thanks to you. I am so grateful
