Comprehensive security measures for British Royal couple in Pakistan

Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Prince Willian and Kate Middleton are arriving in Islamabad today.

ISLAMABAD (Web Desk) - Police have ensured comprehensive security arrangements for visit of Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton to the Federal Capital today.

A Police spokesman on Monday said that Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Muhammad Aamir Zulfiqar, along with other senior officials, reviewed the security arrangements made for their visit to the Federal Capital.

The British Royal couple, Duke and Duchess of Cambridge Prince Willian and Kate Middleton are arriving in Islamabad today on a five-day visit to Pakistan.

Arrangements are in full swing to welcome the Royal couple in Pakistan. The cities which the Royal Couple is expected to visit have been decorated with cultural arts.

The royal visit, organised on the request of UK’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, is the first since Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles’ 2006 tour of Pakistan.

Prior to that, Prince William’s grandmother, the ruling monarch Queen Elizabeth II, visited Pakistan in 1961 and again in 1997.

However, the most memorable royal tours for Pakistan remain the visits by his mother, the late Princess Diana, in 1991, 1996 and 1997.

British High Commissioner in Pakistan Thomas Drew said during their five-day visit, the Royal couple would visit the ‘breadth and depth’ of Pakistan.

He said most importantly the Royal couple hope to meet as many Pakistanis as possible during the visit particularly the youth who are shaping future of the country.

He said the duo is looking forward to building a lasting friendship with people of Pakistan.
