The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge had a jam-packed day of engagements on day two of their visit to Pakistan. The royal couple, who landed at Pakistani Air Force Base Nur Khan on Monday evening, began their first full day in the country with a visit to a school in central Islamabad, where they met with pupils aged from four to 18 to hear how they are benefitting from the Teach for Pakistan programme, a fast-track teacher training programme modelled on the UK's Teach First scheme. The parents-of-three showed their natural affinity with children as they spent time with the young pupils, with William seen cracking jokes as the royal couple spent time in the classroom. Caring Kate, who chose to wear a royal blue kurta, a traditional long shift blouse overtrousers, for the visit, also proved to be a big hit and was seen laughing with a small group of children as she knelt down to speak to them at their work table.
Continuing the theme of education, the couple later joined children from three local schools in the Margalla Hills, which sit in the foothills of the Himalayas. William and Kate then had lunch with Prime Minister Imran Khan and ended their first full day at a reception hosted by the British High Commission at the city's stunning National Monument, which will showcase the very best of Pakistani music and culture. Guests included figures from the country's music and film industry and creative arts, the world of business and politicians.

Havig worn tan heeled shoes from New Look, costing just £23.99, for her visit to the school, Kate swapped her footwear for Russell & Bromley's £185 'Xpresso' Crossover Flats for her time in the Margalla Hills.
The Duchess kept her jewellery to a minumim, opting for her drop earrings by Zeen, which retail for just £6, and her striking sapphire engagement ring.

After visiting the Margalla Hills, the Duke and Duchess had an official meeting with Prime Minister Imran Khan at his residence in Islamabad.
Former international cricketer Imran Khan recalled a conversation with William some 22 years ago about his ambitions of becoming prime minister.
On his ambitions of becoming a cricketer, Mr Khan said: "When I went with my mother to see a Test match. My cousin was playing and he scored a century and I told my mother I wanted to be a Test cricketer. I never realised how difficult it was to eventually become one. Similarly, when I told you that I wanted to succeed I didn't realise it would take me 22 years."
