Prince William attends Chinese premiere of 'Paddington'

(3 Mar 2015) PRINCE WILLIAM ATTENDS CHINESE PREMIERE OF 'PADDINGTON' Britain's Prince William attended the Chinese premiere of the film "Paddington" on Tuesday evening (3 MARCH 2015) as part of the first official visit to mainland China by a senior British royal in a generation. The prince was greeted at the Shanghai Film Museum by a costumed, life-sized version of the fictional bear found at a London train station that the film depicts. William was then led inside to meet various members of the Chinese and international film world before sitting down for the screening with around fifty local schoolchildren. Earlier on Tuesday he watched students at a secondary school train with Premier League-trained coaches and gave a speech where he called for increased student exchanges between China and Britain. William's three-day trip to Beijing, Shanghai and the southwest near the border with Myanmar is testing the prince's diplomatic mettle as the second in line to the throne. His final stop in China is Xishuangbanna in Yunnan province where he will visit an elephant sanctuary and a nature reserve.
