Kate Middleton mocked in Chinese tourism video,

 

"The characterisation of Kate is spot on," writes a Cambridge-based commenter on the Daily Mail's website. Even the British tabloid Grazia tweeted, "Who doesn't like a spoof?"

 

Obviously, the Chengdu tourism board agrees. In a response reported by The Express, a spokesperson for the tourism association called the now viral campaign "harmless fun".

 

But is it a little more than just fun? Relations between UK royals and Chinese officials haven't always been pleasant. Will's dad, Prince Charles, once described meeting China's president as "ridiculous rigmarole". And in 1986, on a state visit to the country, Prince Phillip made an offensive and not-soon-forgotten racist remark.
