Local education officer, Mohammed Sohailkhan, told reporters the quality of education for girls varied across Pakistan.

"I can't paint you an entirely rosy picture," he said. "It does still fluctuate wildly, particularly in rural regions, where there has traditionally been cultural barriers towards this, notably in terms of sending girls away to college. But these barriers are slowly being broken down. "

The Prince and his wife also visited the Margalla Hills National Park in the foothills of The Himalayas , before travelling to Mr Khan's official residence in Islamabad for a private lunch.

Mr Khan, was a friend of The Prince 's mother.

What are William and Catherine doing here in Pakistan? Put simply they are spreading a little royal Love Around The Place .

It's been 13 years since a royal visit. Some of those have been very tough years for Pakistan, a country that Britain has strong and long historical links with. Around one-and-half million British citizens are of Pakistani descent. Part of The Visit is about giving the country a royal hug and showing people here that Britain cares.

It's also a way of highlighting joint interests - Climate Change threatens Pakistan More Than most, early years education is one of The Duchess 's biggest single concerns, and security is a key part of the co-operation between the UK and Pakistan.

And it is a way of selling Pakistan to The World . The Duke and duchess will leave the cities and see something of the spare and rugged countryside.

Yes, there's lots of security surrounding the couple. But their travels will also advertise the breathtaking beauty of Pakistan, alongside the bustling cities. It is an opportunity to learn, to encourage and to give something back.

The five-day trip was organised at The Request of The Foreign and Commonwealth Office .
