Prince William arrives in China to warm welcome

The Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, began his visit to China on Sunday, marking the first visit to China by a senior British royal in close to three decades.

Prince William arrived at Beijing's Capital International Airport on Sunday night to a warm welcome.

The last visit by a senior British royal was when William's grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, came to China in 1986, according to the prince's press office.
