On the arrival of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to the northern region, the British royal couple were welcomed by local elders and administration. They were presented with traditional outfits and a book commemorating Princess Diana’s 1991 visit to the region.

Prince William sported a jacket with traditional embroidery adorning it meanwhile Kate wore a shawl.

The British royal couple have flown north to see for themselves some of the beauty of the country but also the effects of climate change on glacial regions.

Royal engagements on day three of the five-day visit also include visiting villages in Chitral damaged by 2015 flash floods, watching search and rescue teams and meeting people of Kalash.
