 William and Kate Islamabad today

Couple have lunch with Prime Minister Imran Khan on a visit which follows in Diana's footsteps in 1997


Kensington Palace say it is their 'most complex' tour to date due to political tensions and security fears 

More than 1,000 Pakistani police officers have been deployed to secure couple's safety during travels 

George, Charlotte and Louis are in UK but couple will arrive back in time to spend weekend with them


 The Duke of Cambridge shared a touching exchange with schoolgirls in Pakistan about their love for his late mother Princess Diana today on his first full day of a royal tour with wife Kate. 
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 couple later had lunch with Prime Minister Imran Khan, with William changing into a suit, and Kate wearing trousers by Maheen Khan, a tunic by Catherine Walker, a scarf by Satrangi and earrings by Zeen. 


The visit to Pakistan, following in Diana's footsteps in 1997, is designed to champion the importance of quality education, and highlight how girls benefit from pursuing higher education and professional careers. 


Former international cricketer Mr Khan was a friend of Diana. The Princess of Wales visited a cancer hospital in Lahore as a guest of Mr Khan and his then wife, Jemima Goldsmith, in May 1997 - but died just three months later.
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.

Why did the Dutch flag change?

By
Why did the Dutch flag change? Originally, the Dutch flag was coloured: orange-white-blue, from top to bottom. Today, the colour is red-white-blue. It is one of the oldest national flags in the world and it inspired many other famous red-white-blue flags, such as the one of Luxembourg, France and Russia. Ours is the mother of all red-white-blue flags. But why the red? The orange was an obvious reference of the royal house of Orange, the family that supplies our kings and queens even today. That is why Dutch football supporters are always dressed in orange, and why everyone in the Netherlands dresses in orange on King’s Day. One possible reason is dye technology.

Flags had to be replaced regularly because they simply stopped having the correct colour. At some point, someone said: enough is enough, let’s just say that our flag is ‘red-white-blue’, and...

What is a blog

By
  A blog (a truncation of "weblog") is an informational website published on the World Wide Web consisting of discrete, often informal diary-style text entries (posts). Posts are typically displayed in reverse chronological order so that the most recent post appears first, at the top of the web page. Until 2009, blogs were usually the work of a single individual, occasionally of a small group, and often covered a single subject or topic. In the 2010s, "multi-author blogs" (MABs) emerged, featuring the writing of multiple authors and sometimes professionally edited.

Business marketing: Businesses can use blogs to promote their products and services, and to build relationships with customers. News and information: Blogs can be used to share news and information on a variety of topics. Education: Blogs can be used to ...
