Sorry very late doing this. Seems harder the past 3 weeks - wonder if someone have complained it was getting too easy.
Stuck on 2
12a Find out about king with policy creating unfriendly state {9) Have s-r-i-e-s thought it might be surliness but no idea why.
19d absolute skill, inwardly controlled. (6) -r-a-t Thought it might be truant but again no idea why other than it fits!

Thanks

19d) arrant

Find out = suss
king = R
policy = line
