                    Duuuh.

                    Then that's why I couldn't figure out "BBC stalwart"…

                          Hopefully this isn't giving anything away, but I've never seen the answer to Guy's clue as a word on its own, as opposed to part of a compound word. Is it one that people still use? (or at least what I assume is the answer).
                          Not immediately coming up with a following clue myself, mind.

                            Neither had I, but apparently it's a Scrabble word, and means what you think it means

                                                Yep.

                                                The Duke of York was the sister of The Prince of Wales, and the Duke of York is the brother of The Prince of Wales

                                                  I guessed based on the second half of that sentence. I still have no idea what the first half refers to.
