Torquhil Campbell — a distant cousin of the Queen and better known as the 13th Duke of Argyll — dons his pith helmet and climbs on top of a three-metre high Elephant in Nepal on Monday to compete in the Elephant Polo World Championship. The 37-year-old Duke, captain of the Chivas Regal Scotland team, is hoping his side is able to bring home the championship for a second consecutive year.
