The Royal Tour of Pakistan has been described as their most “complex and sensitive” tour to date.

Due to security reasons, their itinerary for the trip has not been disclosed. Kensington Palace will release the details of each day daily. Citing political tension and security fears, more than 1,000 Pakistani police offices have been deployed to secure the couple’s safety during the tour.

However that didn’t stop the couple arriving in true regal fashion. Arriving at the Nur Khan air base in Rawalpindi just after 9.30pm, the royal couple were accorded a red-carpet reception as they left the British Government’s RAF Voyager plane together.

Inspired by her late Mother-in-law, Diana, Princess of Wales, the Duchess looked elegant in an aqua shalwar kameez – a traditional Pakistani outfit comprised of a flared kurti, a long shirt, and trousers – by British designer Catherine Walker. Her outfit was a respectful nod to tradition in the Muslim country.
