Prince William wrapped up a week-long tour of Japan and China yesterday. His trip was widely considered a success; however, on his last day in China it was revealed that the elephants in the Wild Elephant Valley sanctuary were forced to perform less than a mile from where the Prince was staying. This sparked controversy as he had used this trip to rally against the ivory trade in China. Read more here, The Washington Post.
