UK envoy Thomas Drew believes the Cambridge’s will “get a very warm welcome”. He said that the royal couple’s visit would showcase how Pakistan is “a forward looking country”.

The couple would like to see the “breadth and depth” of the country, said Drew, adding that the duo would see “the modern leafy capital in Islamabad, the vibrant city of Lahore, the mountainous countryside of the north and the rugged border region of the west”.
