Prince of Wales toured 41,000 miles in 1921 and 1922. He visited India where several Maharajahs welcomed him honouring him with parties. One Maharaja named his children after the prince and princes of Britain. One arranged dance on swords. Tibetan Lamas welcomed him with music from long pipes. In Malaya and Singapore tribal dances were arranged for him. He saw huge decorated Indian elephants. Like David Attenborough he also entered forests, surrounded by 100 people with guns, to hunt a few animals. In BBC we see only Attenborough and animals and they hide 100 people with guns protecting him. But here there is no cheating like that. The Prince was shown with 20 elephants, protecting him. Pictures will tell you more stories; here are the pictures from 100 year old book.
