'like the duke of edinburgh soon' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'had deer roundly shot' is the wordplay.
'shot' indicates an anagram.
'had'+'deer'+'roundly'='haddeerroundly'
'haddeerroundly' with letters rearranged gives 'HUNDRED-YEAR-OLD'.
