On the fourth day of her first historic five-day tour, British Princess Catherine Kate Middleton arrived in the National Cricket Academy in Lahore, the capital of Punjab, in Pakistani clothes and played cricket and she tried unsuccessfully to hit sixes and fours.
Kate Middleton and her husband Prince William arrived in Pakistan 3 days ago on the night of October 14 for a 5-day historic visit.
Although Kate Middleton wore a British designer dress when she arrived in Pakistan, she won the hearts of Pakistanis the next day by wearing a blue dress designed by Pakistani designer Maheen Khan.
Kate Middleton visited a public school in Islamabad wearing Maheen Khan’s dress and later accompanied her husband to the Prime Minister’s House and President’s House.
The royal couple also attended a dinner hosted by the British High Commission in Islamabad the other day and Prince William also wore a sherwani designed by Pakistani designer Nauman Arifin.
Prince William wore a sherwani matching the color of the national flag, and Kate Middleton, meanwhile, also wore a dress matching the color of the national flag of Pakistan, but her dress was made by a British designer.
The royal couple arrived in Chitral on the third day and there too, both were seen in oriental style attires, among other attires.
The royal couple arrived in Lahore on the fourth day of their visit, where Punjab Governor Chaudhry Sarwar and Chief Minister Usman Buzdar welcomed the British couple.
On her arrival in Lahore, Princess Kate Middleton wore a white Pakistani dress and she immediately became the center of attention.
The white dress worn by Princess Kate Middleton was designed by Pakistani fashion house ‘Ideas: Gul Ahmed’.
Kate Middleton’s dress design was kept very simple and she also wore shoes to match the dress.
On the occasion of the visit to Lahore, Prince William was also wearing a colorful dress. The royal couple also visited Lahore’s SOS Village, where they mingled with children.
Kate Middleton’s white dress was similar to the one worn by her mother-in-law Lady Diana during her visit to Lahore in the past.
Lady Diana also wore a dress designed by local designer Rizwan Baig during her visit to Lahore.
