The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent a busy day in Pakistan's cultural capital Lahore on Thursday as they attended multiple events in the city.
Upon their arrival in the city, Prince William and Kate Middleton met Punjab Governor Chaudhry Mohammad Sarwar and Chief Minister Usman Buzdar before proceeding to a charity function.
For her visit to Lahore, Kate donned a white Gul Ahmed shalwar kameez and a shawl by Maheem Khan. She accessorized her ensemble with a clutch from Mulberry, shoes by Gianvito Rossi and earrings by Asprey.
Punjab Chief Minister Buzdar during the meeting said that Pakistan and the UK were moving ahead together in journey of progress and prosperity. He added that the visit will further strengthen bilateral ties between Pakistan and the United Kingdom.
After their formal meeting with the Punjab chief minister and governor, the royal couple travelled to SOS Children Village where they met orphaned children. Prince William and Kate next arrived at Lahore's iconic Mughal-era Badshahi Mosque where they attended an event on religious tolerance.
For the mosque visit, Kate dressed in another Maheen Khan ensemble. The last engagement for the royals in the city was a visit to Shaukat Khanum Hospital built by Prime Minister Imran Khan in memory of his late mother who died from cancer in 1985.
In 1996, the late Princess Diana had visited the hospital accompanied by PM Imran and his former wife, Jemima Goldsmith, a close friend of the royal. The Royal couple visited the children's ward to spend time with patients undergoing treatment at the hospital, and spoke to a number of their families.
