The couple both wore blue for the visit to the school in the capital Islamabad, with the Duchess of Cambridge draping a long scarf, or dupatta, over the shoulder of her royal blue shalwar kameez - a traditional Pakistani long shirt with trousers.

The Duke, however, opted for a Western outfit, looking relaxed in a light button-down shirt with no tie.
They dropped in on a mathematics class where televised images showed them sitting with some of the young students, whose blue uniforms matched the Duchess's dress.
Education official Khadija Bakhtiar told AFP that the couple helped some of the students solve problems.

"Both wanted to engage in a natural way... so it was a very nice" visit, she said.
William and Kate spent roughly half an hour at the government-run school, which has an estimated 1,000 students from first to 12th grade, before they were waved off by smiling students.
They were whisked away under heavy security to visit the Himalayan foothills outside Islamabad, before meeting Prime Minister Imran Khan, an old friend of William's mother, the late Princess Diana.

Details of the royal couple's five-day visit - their first official trip to Pakistan - are being kept under wraps, with security expected to be tight.
In addition to Islamabad, they are set to visit Pakistan's second-largest city Lahore - once the capital of the Mughal Empire - as well as the mountainous north and the region near the border with Afghanistan in the west.
