More Monday than Saturday I'd say but help welcomed with parsings.
25a Disadvantage in wobbliness abut word ER avoids?9 L-A-I-I-Y Liability but why?
23d One often on tabloid page? This is bigger than that.5 R-Y-L Must be royal and there is a royal theme.
9a Villain dramatically trapping male monarch, say, finally 5 I-A-O. Obviously I(m)ago but how does it work?
TIA
