The royal couple, during their five-day visit, also visited a school and a national park in Islamabad where they interacted with children and appreciated their artwork. This trip, with a focus on climate change and education access, has been described as the most challenging due to security concerns. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also met with Khan at his official residence, following in the footsteps of William's mother Princess Diana who visited Pakistan multiple times in the 1990s and supported Khan in raising funds for a cancer hospital. Additionally, William and Kate engaged with students at 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 lined up 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 was dressed in a periwinkle blue silk shalwar kameez, the traditional Pakistani outfit of a loose tunic over trousers. Many people on social media and in the fashion industry had been anticipating her wearing this outfit, which Princess Diana had worn on previous visits. Designer Maheen Khan expressed her honor at creating the outfit for the Duchess on Twitter. Kate's fashion choices, such as a bright green tunic over white pants for a meeting with the Prime Minister, seemed to reflect some of the colors and styles worn by Diana. Foreign policy experts and officials have stated that the recent trip by a British royal family member, the first in over ten years and arranged at the British foreign office's request, was seen as a soft power initiative. This initiative could potentially assist both sides in advancing their diplomatic goals. The visit is taking place as Britain looks to strengthen its international relations ahead of its exit from the European Union, and as Pakistan aims to enhance its global reputation to attract more tourism and investment.
