On Monday, September 8, 2014, His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge officially opened the new Dickson Poon University of Oxford China Centre Building at St. Hugh’s College in Oxford, England.

According to Clarence House the
“…building will, for the first time, bring together academics drawn from across a range of disciplines, who have common research and teaching interests related to China.

His Royal Highness met members of St Hugh’s College staff, students and friends of the College before being shown around the China Centre building. Once inside the new facilities, The Duke was introduced to designers and building contractors who worked on the project, as well as donors, including Mr Dickson Poon, and academics.

A traditional Chinese ribbon cutting ceremony was held in the courtyard before The Duke of Cambridge met members of the public during a brief walkabout.”

Also, during today’s opening the prince spoke to the press about the news that he will be father for the second time.
