14a. Yes, it's ROYAL ASSENT

I don't have issue No 1201 with me at the moment, but if you re-type the clue I will try to explain the answer.

1 dn - Balls shown by men at last (8)
2 dn - Masculine, false guilt of Cyclops having an erection as means to get 4? (8) 4 is 'superfit'
18 dn - It's not her issue who takes advantage of her tits (3,5)
14 ac - Brenda's OK description of Prince Edward? "Not much entertainment" (5,6)
Question Author
Thanks BigMac. I understand 1 and 2 now.
18d - how I explained it to myself:

Issue = child(ren)

If her children "don't take advantage of her tits" then she is breat-feeding someone else's child(ren).

A woman who breast-feeds another's child is called a wet nurse.

Question Author
Thanks, I understand.
Cheers.
