He told the guests: “I’m pretty exercised – to put it mildly – about the plight of some of the world’s most iconic species. These species are being illegally butchered in the name of trinkets and medicine.

“It’s easy to blame others for the problem – demand in south-east Asia, not enough protection on the ground, and so on. But, if I may say, we could start with looking closer to home.

“But it’s not all doom and gloom. You’re the lights at the end of the tunnel. What all of us in this room represent, and tens of thousands of people out there, is solid purpose – a determination not to let our generation be the one that let this catastrophe occur.”

On a lighter note, William was also heard telling Chelsea Clinton, “We’re going to the Empire State Building tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to that, it’s going to be great fun.”
