I think you are doing quite well. Wrong but quite well. I won't give you a clue yet because you aren't way off and when you get one of the elements I think it will take you instantly to the right person. which may be a clue in itself!

Do you need a bijou hint-ette?

I have had precious little time last week, and whatever results my queen searches gave me did not really fit. I'll work on it. I guess a hint would speed up the process...

I hear does not relate to the Queen's grandson, but to the sneaky middle element. Otherwise it is probably more straight forward than you think.

Hmm... Does it somehow translate to Harry Goatleaf?

I can't explain the goat no matter how much I try.

Yeah, I had the reasons for Harry and Leaf, but I still can't explain how you get "goat" from "but a".

Do enlighten me please, MummieMith!

I'll get a clue up before I go to sleep today.
