Twin fans of Peppa Pig to get dream UK trip

Two Chinese sisters have landed a dream trip to Buckingham Palace and the Peppa Pig World theme park in the United Kingdom after their online appeal to meet Queen Elizabeth II enchanted the British ambassador to China as well as millions of social media users.

Five-year-old twins Mi Ai and Mi Ni, who live in Beijing, appeared in a video on social media platform Weibo last week, where they spoke of their love of British animated series Peppa Pig and their desire to visit the royal residence.

"Hello, grandmother queen," Mi Ai said in the video, which has been viewed more than 19 million times. "I'm 5-and-a-half years old. I can play the piano, I am learning to dance, and I'm learning English from my mom."
