"Prince William will begin his US tour by branding the illegal wildlife trade as one of the most “insidious forms of corruption” in the world. The Duke and the Duchess of Cambridge arrived in New York last night for a three-day visit that has generated much excitement among New Yorkers.
The second in line to the throne has been campaigning to save threatened animals for several years and will tell delegates at a Washington conference on Monday that some animal parts are worth more then their weight in gold.
The royal couple have a varied itinerary that will see the duke meet Barack Obama, the royal couple rub shoulders with celebrities at an NBA basketball match and the duchess visit a Harlem-based organisation supporting families."
