The royal couple visited a school and a national park in Islamabad during their five-day trip, where they interacted with children and admired their artwork. The visit, focusing on climate change and education access, is said to be the most challenging for the couple due to security concerns. They also met with Khan at his official residence, with William's late mother Princess Diana having visited Pakistan multiple times in the past. Additionally, William and Kate engaged with students at an Islamabad Model College for Girls, discussing education with older students and visiting classrooms of younger students. As they departed, a group of girls sang a Pakistani national song and the couple said goodbye to preschoolers who had gathered to bid farewell. They then went to Margallah Hills National Park near Islamabad, which is facing threats such as poaching, wildfires, invasive species, and littering. Kate wore a periwinkle blue silk shalwar kameez, the traditional clothing of Pakistan, consisting of a loose tunic over trousers, for the morning activities. Many people on social media and in the fashion industry had been hoping she would wear this outfit, which Princess Diana had worn during her visits. Designer Maheen Khan expressed her honor on Twitter for being asked to create this outfit for the Duchess. The Duchess of Cambridge's fashion choices, including a bright green tunic over white pants for a meeting with the Prime Minister, seemed to pay tribute to Diana's style with similar colors and outfits. According to foreign policy experts and officials, the recent trip by a British royal family member, 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 occurring as Britain tries to strengthen its international ties ahead of its exit from the European Union, while Pakistan is trying to enhance its global reputation in order to attract more tourism and investment.
