Hong Kong cinema icon Jackie Chan left the Duke of Cambridge humbled when he met him yesterday, mistaking the second-in-line to the throne for his younger brother.
The kung fu movie star revealed that he had congratulated the Duke on his recent trip to the South Pole with wounded veterans.
‘Prince William said, ‘No, that was my brother’, and I said ‘I’m sorry’. But they look almost same, huh?’ Chan told The Times.
The pair met at an evening reception at Natural History Museum in London on Wednesday night for the international Illegal Wildlife Trade summit, which took place yesterday.
Both men, along with the footballer David Beckham and basketball star Yao Ming, have made short videos in Mandarin about the illegal trade in endangered wildlife to urge Chinese to stop buying ivory and rhino horn.
