Comments on the clue
1.Second part isn't convincing. Lionel who?
2.Seems a forced surface, HIPS is closed off at the end, and 'whilst', 'the box' all extraneous which spoils the construction
3.Amusing but “whilst” is redundant
4.I like the PRINCE clue, but 'whilst' doesn't seem to belong to either?
5.Hidden words should start and end within another word to be more elegant
