Prince William to give speech on illegal ivory trade

The Duke of Cambridge will deliver a speech on Monday on the urgent need to combat the illegal ivory trade for broadcast on Chinese state TV.

China is a major market for the trade, which Prince William has described as "one of the most insidious forms of corruption and criminality in the world".

China's president Xi Jinping is due to arrive in the UK on a state visit on Monday.
