Kate Middleton and Prince William's Royal Tour of Pakistan—See All the Best Moments
Another week, another royal tour.
On the heels of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s trip to southern Africa, Kate Middleton and Prince William traveled from London to Islamabad yesterday, October 14, to begin their five-day tour of Pakistan. “This is the most complex tour undertaken by [the duke and duchess] to date, given the logistical and security considerations,” a statement released by Kensington Palace ahead of the tour said. “Pakistan hosts one of Britain’s largest overseas networks, with the British High Commission in Islamabad being one of the United Kingdom’s largest diplomatic missions in the world.”
While the couple’s three children are not with them on this trip, Hello! reports that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge dropped Prince George and Princess Charlotte at school before their flight to Pakistan.
Here are all the best moments from the royal tour.
The Cambridges had a red carpet arrival in Pakistan, complete with flowers and gifts from local children. Middleton wore a turquoise ombré take on the shalwar kameez, the traditional dress of the country that includes a tunic top over trousers.
First up, the royals visited a school where the children are part of a fast-track teacher training program called Teach for Pakistan, which focuses on young girls and women pursuing jobs in education, before meeting with kids from three schools in the Margalla Hills.
