Although I usually go in chronological order for these posts, there is no way I wasn't going to open with Kate and Wills arriving for their formal reception in this extremely charming, specially painted auto rickshaw. I need to have all the iconography of this rickshaw explained to me! (The leopard feels self-explanatory.)

The royal couple is on an official five-day visit to Pakistan. It is the first royal visit to the country in 13 years. Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on royal tour, Islamabad, Pakistan - 15 Oct 2019

I also need an explainer about this kind-looking man who was entrusted to drive said rickshaw! Did ANYONE talk to the rickshaw driver for their stories?! Do I have to assign all the human-interest pieces here?!

Also: Wills and Kate look great here. Green, of course, is the color of Pakistan's flag. Kate is wearing her old friend Jenny Packham, and Wills is in a traditional sherwani designed by Naushemian, which is a Pakistani designer (or store? Or both -- it's hard to tell and their website is down at the moment). It is very neat to see him in something other than his beloved blue suit; men can do soft diplomacy, too!

This is not the greatest shot of Kate -- sorry, Kate! -- but I could not resist pulling Full Smile William, which is not something we see very often. [Pakistan's National Monument ](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pakistan%5FMonument?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)here is VERY dramatic and picturesque!

Kate is SPARKLY and I am here for that, always. (Her earrings are custom -- although not exhorbitantly priced -- from a store in London called O'nitaa, which sells, [per their website](https://onitaa.co.uk/?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), "luxury South Asian couture.")

And here is our back view; the scarf detailing feels like a nod to the dupattas Kate has been wearing throughout ( Very glam!

Here's the look we got in the morning, for both their trip to the school, and to the leopard photoshoot; Kate's shalwar kameez is by a Pakistani designer called Maheen Khan. (Fun fact: She's also a costume designer who has done amazing embroidery work for a variety of period films. Thanks, Wikipedia!)

I think this is VERY pretty, and it's also very apt that it's in Cambridge blue.

I decided this is the part of th trip where Wills starts telling everyone what Idris Elba has taught him about DJing.

"Oh my god, we LOVE crafts! Move over, I've got designs on that pine cone."

(Parenthetically, brace yourself for a whole bunch of cute kids here and in the next couple of slides. I am particularly in love with the little girl who is super into hair accessories right now.)

And here is where the Duchess introduced the children of Islamabad to the shell game. (This muffin is SO CUTE. Look at his serious little face! I want to squeeze him.)

Today was also The Day to Meet With Elected Officials; here, Wills and Kate are meeting with Imran Khan, the Prime Minister. (In addition to knowing Diana, Wills has known Khan since he was a little kid, if I recall correctly.) Kate changed into a Catherine Walker topper here over another pair of pants from Maheen Khan. (The dupatta is from [a Pakistani brand called Bonanza](https://www.bonanzasatrangi.com/row/lssbd-167-green-green-chiffon-dupatta?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).)

I really just included this photo because often the set up for these pics of Two Important Men Meeting Each Other involve shoving The Spouse into the corner of the sofa and Kate is being her usual Chatty McGeee over there.

Wills and Kate also met the President of Pakistan, Arif Alvi, and his wife Samina, who looks GREAT and also very coordinated. (Meanwhile, the men are like, "do we shake hands now? How about now? Not yet? Yes? Someone tell us when to shake hands.")
