Think capitals not countries.
Emma does not relate to a person

Doug Mountjoy?
Douglas is the capital of the Isle of Man, not sure about the rose connection. I haven't read Emma but I suspect there might be some joyous mounting going on!

Nothing to do with a book called Emma

I wonder if throne is alluding to the toilet. I'll throw an early guess in with Louis (Loo) Heathcote.

OK I'll go Lu Ning to get a guess in while I think about the mark.

No, not Lu. Yes, getting the Mark-based clue is much more important I'd think. Although, again, I hope I haven't cruelly chosen a clue that is too specifically English for out international friends.

That one was a great clue. I'll spend a little bit of time thinking one up.

However, I'm equally drawn to Stephen Hendry, because of the movie Regarding Henry + Hendry's one-time nickname of The Golden Boy.

At freakin' last, someone else has had a punt so I can have another go without looking like a hogger.
I guess Drew Henr... oh ashen-flaps.

Another guess, brilliant.
Sadly not Drew Henry. LDS wasn't too far off with his Peter Ebdon logic. I can give more clues if people want.

The name Lukas (look as) seems to fit 'regarding'. I can't match Kleckers to 'favourite' though, in any sense!

Kleckers is Australian slang for favourite. (That's a lie).
No sorry, not Lukas Kleckers.

Is it Stuart Bingham?
As the film The Favourite is regarding the last Stuart monarch, Queen Anne?
