28 across Tristan's partner is former leader of Egypt (6) I-O--- ??? x

Isobel

sorry...isolde

Could you explain why please, I'm a bit of a duh brain. I'm new to cryptics, my Mum got me into them, usually only any good at kiddies wordsearch.

Hi. This isnt a cryptic clue...if you Google Tristan you will see that his partner was Isolde and a ruler of Egypt...

sorry I have completely misled you.....This was an opera and Isolde was the partner of Tristan....Isolde comes from Is Old (E)gypt..

KittyKat...does that clarify it for you?

In other words....Is Old (former) leader of Egypt E..= Is Old E...Isolde...think I will go back to bed after misleading you !!

Hi Chrisg. I feel you are a bit brusque with Kitty Kat,who is new to cryptic puzzles.
The cryptic part is as follows:
is = IS
former= OLD
leader of Egypt=E
Hope this is helpful to you Kitty Kat.
