Prince William and Kate announce Pakistan visit

Prince William and his wife Kate will visit Pakistan later this year on the first royal trip to the country in more than a decade, Kensington Palace announced yesterday.  The royal couple’s visit, requested by the Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, shows London’s renewed interest in the country. “Further details (of the visit) will be advised in due course,” Kensington Palace tweeted. The visit comes 13 years after Charles and Camilla -- the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwell -- toured the country in 2006. Britain is home to more than a million people of Pakistani origin, making it the largest Pakistani diaspora in Europe.
