UK media gushes over Kate Middleton's salwar-kameez in Pakistan
The UK media on Tuesday was splashed with images of Kate Middleton's traditional wardrobe choice for her maiden official tour of Pakistan with husband Prince William.
The 37-year-old Duchess of Cambridge was praised for evoking memories of her late mother-in-law Princess Diana with her choice of kurtas, similar to ones worn by Diana during her last visit to Pakistan in 1997 months before she was killed in a tragic car accident in Paris.
William and Kate touched down at an airbase outside Islamabad on Monday at the start of their five-day visit as part of an official tour to strength UK-Pakistan ties on the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO).
