Prince William's has impressed the Chinese with his language skills after wishing the country Happy New Year in Mandarin, ahead of his visit to China next month.
In a video clip - shown by Chinese state broadcaster CCTV - the Duke of Cambridge told viewers: 'Zhu ni men chun jie kuai le, yang nian da ji' (I wish you a happy Chinese New Year and good luck in the Year of the Sheep).
His Mandarin went down well in China, with one social media user describing it as 'cute' and another saying people usually focus of his receding hairline, but his 'Chinese is great'.
The message, which was broadcast last night and watched by millions, came on the eve of Chinese New Year, with 2015 becoming the Year of the Sheep. Click link for full post from The Daily Mail.
