THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in style on a colourful decorated rickshaw for a reception hosted by the British High Commissioner for Pakistan. The royal couple travelled to the event, hosted by Thomas Drew, the British Commissioner for Pakistan, which is set to highlight the relationship between the UK and the Commonwealth country.
The duke made a speech at the event, saying the UK would continue to support the Commonwealth country as a "key partner and friend" during a visit which he hoped would strengthen ties between the two nations. He said: "We share unique bonds and so it will always be in our best interests for Pakistan to succeed. "You can always rely on the UK to keep playing an important role as a key partner and friend." A busy itinerary on their first full day in the capital Islamabad saw the royal couple meet Prime Minister Imran Khan and visit two education programmes, including a government-run school for students aged between four and 18. Earlier William poignantly recalled his love for his mother after meeting with school kids. Sitting with Kate in a classroom, Wills was told by a schoolgirl that she was a big fan of Princess Diana — to which he touchingly replied "I was a big fan of my mother too".
