The Kensington Palace called the five-day trip the most complex tour taken by the Duke and Duchess to date due to the security and logistical considerations.
The royal couple’s maiden Pakistan visit is said to be an education-focused tour.
The couple will visit programmes that empower young people and organisations that help ensure they have the best possible start in life.
Kate set her foot at Pakistani Air Force Base Nur Khan yesterday wearing an ombre, aqua-blue dress with matching pants – an amalgamation of traditional shalwar kameez with modern dress. Apparently, her outfit was designed by Catherine Walker, who was Kate’s mother-in-law Princess Diana's favourite.
Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.

Some eagle-eyed netizens continued to draw comparisons with Lady Diana, as Kate’s attire reminded them of her mother-in-law’s royal visit to Pakistan wearing the same blue-coloured shalwar kameez.
