Royal party in tiger shoot
Jan. 25, 1961 - Royal Indian Tour Duke of Edinburgh Shoots a Tiger in the Rajasthan Jungle: Queen Elizabeth II in centre, wearing slacks and holding a cine camera stands behind the tiger which her husband Prince Philip (left) shot yesterday in the Rajasthan Jungle, near Jaipur, India. Either side of the Queen stands the Maharaja and Maharanee of Jaipur who hosted at the hunt. The Queen watched from a Persian carpeted tree-top platform a her husband, twenty five yards away felled the 9ft. 8in. male tiger with a single shot through the hand. The Royal Party had a celebratory lunch in the jungle, and returned to the Machine - the tree platform - to await the next victim.
