According to 'White Hunters' by Brian Herne, some of the best hunters in East Africa came from the nobility.

Even the Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), much maligned for abdicating and derided for other aspects of his life, apparently hunted with grit and determination. Bror Blixen (a baron and a great hunter) and Denys Finch-Hatton tracked an elephant with him for three or four days in blazing heat. Sleeping rough and short of food and water, they all had badly blistered feet by the end, but the prince kept up without complaint. True, he then stepped on a twig and the massive bull bolted, but I'm not sure that made him a bad hunter.
