Every Outfit Kate Middleton Wore on Her Royal Tour of Pakistan With Prince William

Not long after Meghan Markle wrapped up a 10-day tour in South Africa, Kate Middleton is off on an official trip of her own, traveling to Pakistan for five days with Prince William. Sadly, we won’t get to see the couple’s three children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—on this trip, but we will get to see a lot of fashion.

Expect to see the Duchess of Cambridge in clothes by local designers (something that both she and Markle often incorporate into their wardrobes during official travel), as well as traditional dress reimagined by some of her go-to designers. (So far she has chosen a colorful shalwar kameez—a style that involves a tunic-like top over trousers frequently worn in Pakistan—by Catherine Walker.) And don’t be surprised by any callbacks to Princess Diana: Within a day of arriving, she already drew comparisons to her late mother-in-law, who visited the country in 1997, not long before she died.

Ahead, we’re keeping track of every single outfit Middleton has worn during her royal tour of Pakistan.

Fort MacMurray MP Confuses Pakistan and India During Recent Ceremony

David Yurdiga, the Fort McMurray-Athabasca MP, has issued an apology to the Indian community for his earlier mistake confusing India and Pakistan when he spoke at J. Howard Pew Park for the Fort Mcmurray Gujarati Cultural Society. The event was to celebrate the Independence of India. When asked about the error Yurdiga stated “I understand the information I was given regarding the India Independence Day speech was inaccurate; however I took full responsibility to ensure I made the appropriate adjustments during my speech. I am currently working with the community leaders of the Fort McMurray Gujarati Cultural Society, and I look forward to our meeting as discussed. All cultures and communities are critical to the success of our Canadian way of life, and I am committed and dedicated to continue working with the many diverse communities in this region.”

The formal apology by David Yurdiga about his error concerning Pakistan during his Fort MacMurray speech has not satisfied some in the local Indian community. According to Nidal Patel, who is a member of the group which held the event, “This guy was so rude. He did not properly apologize for his mistake or explain it to us. I mean everyone took it as a ‘Yeah, OK. That happens.’ But we were expecting an explanation and formal apology. We as a people are peaceful. We don’t do violence or those things. But India and Pakistan is a sensitive issue. To show up at an Indian ceremony and speak about Pakistan was seen as insensitive to us. We recognize it was a mistake, but at the same time, it seems he didn’t do his homework. Our flag was clearly not Pakistani. At the top, he did not properly apologize and express his mistake, and we would like one.”
