sh - wordplay is 7 letter master followed by 6-letter apple. The Nelson isn't in England.

SH, I think I barked up the same wrong tree. The answer is quite obscure. The definition is the last four words, with one letter changed (which you must know). The first word is a synonym for boss and the second is a kind of apple (not a specific variety). Hope this helps, even though it's not necessary to complete the grid.

I'm nearly done with this, phew, but gap in SE, would love a tip towards 44a, thanks, I have several letters, but one may be wrong!

The definition is at the start. The wordplay is the third and fourth word 'handling' a synonym for the last five words. 'Handling' is a bit of a stretch.

Thanks got it.
I thought it was 'former monarch' now...
I don't see the inheritance bit, but maybe Chambers will enlighten me.

Superb puzzle! I was so deep into unpicking it all that I hadn’t noticed the issue with the number of clash cells. Loved the final PDM with the altered set (or that was the last PDM for me anyway)

Yes, Chambers knows - look up the middle four letters of the answer.

Seeking help on 13A, please.

The first few letters of a Scottish island give the definition, which is the first word. 'Cloaking' seems to me to be superfluous and a bit of a distraction.
