BRITAIN'S Prince William met China's President Xi Jinping on Monday before strolling through the Forbidden City, the former home of the country's imperial dynasties.

Xi warmly welcomed the second-in-line to the British throne, making the highest-profile visit to China by a member of the royal family since Queen Elizabeth II and her husband Prince Philip in 1986.

"The British royal family has great influence not just in Britain but across the world," Xi said.

William said he was looking forward to the remainder of his trip, which will see him visit the commercial hub of Shanghai before heading to an elephant sanctuary in the south-western province of Yunnan.

"It's been a long interest of mine for many years to come and visit China," he told Xi at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.
