Like the Duke of Edinburgh, soon had deer roundly shot (7-4-3)
I believe the answer is:
hundred-year-old
'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'.
