Kate Branded a Gold-digger in Promotional Video for Chengdu

Is Kate Middleton a gold digger? According to a new Chinese tourism video the Duchess of Cambridge only became a part of the royal family for the benefits.

In the bizarre advertisement - which was made by Chengdu city officials publicising a range of 'panda cabs' - lookalikes playing Kate, Prince William and the Queen are seen standing outside a palace trying to hail a taxi.

The 'Queen' is shown shouting 'taxi' - and whistling to get a driver's attention - before telling her 'grandson' and his wife they should save money by opting for a cab to get to the Jubilee celebrations.
