Back in 1986, the visit of Queen Elizabeth II to China caused quite a stir. She became the first British Monarch to pay a state visit to China. Since 2004, Prince Andrew, the second son of Queen Elizabeth II, has visited China several times as a special representative of UK Trade & Investment. On March 1, 2015, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, started his visit to China, which was seen as as a historical event between China and UK. In exchange, many of China's political leaders have met with Queen Elizabeth II when they visited Britain as well.
