Prince William and Duchess Catherine have worn a number of traditional outfits on their royal tour of Pakistan and day three is no exception.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in the Chitral district of the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province on the Afghan border and were gifted with embroidered coats and hats with peacock feathers.
But as the royal couple donned the traditional garments, we were reminded of a very similar outfit William’s late mother Princess Diana wore when she visited the same area.
As Prince William and Duchess Catherine touched down at the airport, they were given traditional Chitrali hats, a coat each and Duchess Catherine was given an extra warm shawl.
Underneath, the Duchess of Cambridge wore her Really Wild Clothing vest that she wore on a royal tour of India and Bhutan with a new midi skirt and shirt and a pair of brown boots.

Royal correspondent Emily Andrews remarked on Twitter that: “Kate’s hat has peacock feathers while Diana’s looks like bird of prey.”
Regardless, it’s quite the similarity!

Dressed in a stunning turquoise shalwar kameez by Catherine Walker, the Duchess of Cambridge shone as she stepped off the plane at the Pakistani Air Force Base Nur Khan, in the city of Rawalpindi. Princess Diana wore a very similar hue and style of outfit when she visited the country in the 1990s.
Once more, when Duchess Catherine wore a royal blue kurta on their second day, royal fans remarked that Princess Diana wore a similarly embroidered design years before.
Visions in blue!

According to Kensington Palace , the royal couple are hoping to “shine a light on the very real consequences of global warming and its devastating effects on our planet.”
