Duchess of Cambridge Kate won over hearts of Pakistanis wearing a traditional Pakistani outfit called Shalwar Kameez or salwar kameez during her trip to the country.
She has frequently been changing her outfits wearing designs from famous fashion houses in vibrant colours and the Pakistanis are giving her looks lots of social media love as well. Netizens are sharing her photos on various social media platforms while regional newspapers printed front page photos of the royal couple.
On Tuesday, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan met the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, who are on a five-day visit to Pakistan.
Imran hosted a reception for them at the Prime Minister’s House in Islamabad. The British royal couple Prince William and Kate also met Pakistan President Arif Alvi on Tuesday as part of their ongoing tour of the country.
The royal couple were greeted by Prime Minister Imran at his official residence and met President Alvi at Aiwan-e-Sadr (president house), according to media reports in Pakistan.
Prince William thanked President Alvi for the warm welcome and hospitality extended to him and his entourage.
They appreciated the initiatives undertaken by the Government of Pakistan to combat climate change and to alleviate poverty.
Over the course of the visit, Prince William and wife Kate will meet a wide variety of people, including children and young people, leaders from government, business and the charity sector, inspiring conservationists, and well-known cultural figures and sports stars.
President of Pakistan Alvi commended the visiting dignitaries for their endeavors to raise awareness about mental health, climate change, and poverty alleviation, said a press release from the president’s secretariat.
Since their arrival in Pakistan on Monday night, Duchess of Cambridge Kate has become the centre of attention due to her attire. The duchess looked elegant in an aqua-coloured shalwar kameez - a traditional Pakistani outfit comprised of a flared 'kurti' (a long top) and trousers by British designer Catherine Walker.
It echoed many of the outfits worn in the country by William's late mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, and was a respectful nod to traditions in the Muslim country.
For the meeting with President Alvi and Prime Minister Imran, the Duchess opted for white trousers by designer Maheen Khan paired with a bright green tunic by Catherine Walker. Green and white are also colours of the Pakistani flag.
She accessorised the dress with a scarf by Satrangi and earrings by Zeen.
Earlier on Tuesday, Prince William and Kate started the first full day of their tour of Pakistan by visiting the Islamabad Model College for Girls.
The Model College for Girls is a government-run school for the disadvantaged four to 18-year-olds, benefiting from the Teach for Pakistan programme based on the UK’s Teach First scheme.
