Then it was off to play cricket at the National Cricket Academy.

Kate changed into more appropriate footwear for the outing. She sported a new pair of white plimsolls which I believe are the Hampton Canvas 'Plum' Shoes (from £28). This is a style that Princess Charlotte loves to wear! They are available in adult sizes.

There was a change in pace for the afternoon events in Lahore.  The Duke and Duchess visited the Badshahi Mosque and attended an interfaith meeting.

Kate changed into a peacock shalwar kameez and wore a coordinating headscarf.

The outfit is an off-the-rack design by Maheen Khan, exclusive to O'nitaa in London. Monique Jessen shared this photo of the shalwar kameez in her article for People.

She reports it is "made from French chiffon, the shalwar kameez is hand embroidered in gold-colored silk by the tribespeople of Swarth in Pakistan. Worn with a bespoke scarf, or dupatta as it is locally known, the designer made it especially for Kate, to exactly match the outfit purchased from O’nitaa."

Kate wore a mix of new and old for the tour of this mountainous region. We saw the return of the Really Wild Clothing Nubuck Waistcoat which she teamed with a dark brown shirt and a toffee brown midi skirt.

As it turns out, the shirt is actually a dress!  Thanks to @Bojana's amazing detective work, she found the button and pocket details are a match for the Mint Velvet Chocolate Utility shirt dress (RRP: £99 - now £69).

This chocolate-brown dress is cut in a relaxed shirt silhouette that buttons down the front with utilitarian detail, from buttoned epaulettes and cuff tabs to front flap pockets and a tonal belt. It is woven with silk-like cupro for added drape.

The brand of the midi is unfortunately unknown, and the black suede belt is by Hobbs London - the 'Alisha' style.

The Duchess debuted the Missoma Gold Zenyu Chandelier Hoops (US$149).

The earrings are inspired by Colombia's rich artistry and heritage. The bobble-trimmed charms are suspended from dainty hoops in a brushed-gold finish. With thanks to @emgcollins for the ID.

Kate wore her Really Wild Spanish Boots in Chocolate Suede (£315).

The Duchess arrived wearing a camel fringe wool scarf  draped on her left shoulder but later swapped it for a cream bobble and scalloped lace trim shawl. Emily Andrew's tells us the shawl was given to Kate in Chitral by the Scout leader of the local area - echoing Kate’s association with the Scouts in the UK.

William and Kate visited the Chiatibo glacier in the Hindu Kush mountain range and walked around the northern tip of the glacier. They saw how it has retreated in recent years as a result of global warming.

In Bumburet,  the Duke and Duchess saw several inspiring community-led initiatives that aim to equip locals with the tools they need to adjust to the changing landscape and weather patterns of the area.

For their final stop of the day, the royal couple visited a settlement of the Kalash people, to learn more about their culture and unique heritage.

Thank you to the Kalash people in Chitral for the wonderful welcome for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge today! #RoyalVisitPakistan pic.twitter.com/XNlKuZ2WUd
