The Duke of Cambridge recorded an address to the Chinese people which will be shown on the main state television channel, CCTV1, later this month.
It is expected to be seen by between 100 million and 250 million people, by far the biggest audience for any speech by the Duke.
Excerpts of his speech are already running on Chinese TV news bulletins.
The Duke told viewers that if they choose to boycott products of the illegal wildlife trade they will be spoken of with "great pride" by their great grandchildren. Click link for full post from The Telegraph.
