The royal couple, during a five-day visit, also visited a school and a national park in the capital Islamabad where they interacted with children and admired their artwork. This trip, focused on climate change and education access, has been described by palace officials as the most challenging the couple have experienced due to security concerns. On Tuesday afternoon, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met with Khan at his official residence. Princess Diana, who was very popular in Pakistan, visited the country multiple times in the 1990s and helped Khan raise funds for a cancer hospital. Earlier, William and Kate spoke with students at an Islamabad Model College for Girls, engaging in discussions about education with older students and exploring the classrooms of younger students. As they departed, a group of girls sang a patriotic song of Pakistan and the couple interacted with preschoolers who had lined up to say goodbye. Their next stop was the Margallah Hills National Park on the outskirts of Islamabad, facing threats from various environmental issues. Kate was dressed in a periwinkle blue silk shalwar kameez, the traditional attire of Pakistan, for the morning events. Many people in social media and the fashion industry had hoped she would wear this outfit, as Princess Diana had done during her visits. The designer, Maheen Khan, expressed her honor at creating the outfit for the Duchess on Twitter. Kate's fashion choices during the visit seemed reminiscent of Diana's, including a bright green tunic and white pants when meeting with the Prime Minister. According to foreign policy experts and officials, the recent trip by a member of the British royal family, the first in over ten years and arranged by the British foreign office, is seen as a soft power initiative that could benefit both countries in achieving their diplomatic goals. This visit is particularly significant as Britain looks to strengthen its international relationships in light of its impending exit from the European Union, while Pakistan aims to improve its global reputation in order to attract more tourism and investment.
