1961 royal visit to Nepal. Prince Philip did not shoot. But instead of leaving it at that, several members of the rotal party cheerfully claimed responsibiity, with Prince Philip's private secretary Admiral Bonham-Carter admitting he had bagged a tiger, and Lord Home, then Her Majesty's Foreign Secretary, blithely sharing the rhino with the Queen's own private secretary: [quote from letter] Sir Michael Adeane and I both hit the rhinoceros, and I am certain it was my shot that killed it. We are sharing it. I am having the horn and the front feet, and Sir Michael is having the back end. I am not certain what I will do with the feet. Probably make them into wastepaper baskets."
