Due to 皇冠体育app’s rising influence, the British have also come to better understand Chinese traditions and culture. During the Spring Festival, Prince Charles and Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall paid a visit to 皇冠体育apptown in London, addressing a New Year speech to overseas Chinese, and over 200 guests were invited to the residence of the Prime Minister to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Ahead of the visit to 皇冠体育app, Prince William released a video message to send his good wishes for Chinese New Year in mandarin: "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)." The video became a hit overnight, and received thousands of likes on Sina Weibo (The Chinese Twitter-like service).
