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.

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 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.
