Prince William and Kate Middleton look colourful as they visit a school in Pakistan

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge embarked on the first full day of their tour of Pakistan today by highlighting the importance of education and mental health with a school visit.

The couple visited the Islamabad Model College for Girls in the capital, touring classrooms and posing for a group picture with some of the young students, ranging from kindergarten age students to sixth formers.

William was told the girls were 'big fans of your mother'. He gave a broad smile and said: 'You were, really? Oh that's very sweet of you. I was a big fan of my mother too. She came here three times. I was very small.'


The visit by Prince William and Kate is designed to champion the importance of quality education, and highlight how girls benefit from pursuing higher education and professional careers.

Kate dazzled crowds as she stepped out in a traditional blue kurta and scarf by local designer Maheen Khan, while William opted for a casual shirt and trousers to stay cool in the Pakistan heat.
