ISLAMABAD: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, are confirmed to be visiting Pakistan from October 14th to 18th this year.
In a tweet released by the Kensington Palace’s official account, the royal couple will arrive in the country for a four-day visit in mid-October after attending an event at the Aga Khan Center in London.
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend a special event at the Aga Khan Center on 2nd October, hosted by His Highness The Aga Khan,” the Tweet said. “The event falls ahead of TRH’s official visit to Pakistan, which will take place between 14th — 18th October.”
This will be the first visit by the young royals to the country. In 2006, Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles were the last members of the British royal family to tour Pakistan.
William is the eldest of the late Princess Diana’s two sons with former husband Prince Charles. Diana was a beloved figure in Pakistan and her visits to the country were often met with jubilation by the public.
