British royals Prince William, Kate Middleton to call off Pakistan visit: Report

Prince William and wife Kate Middleton who had plannedto travel to Pakistan later this year upon the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office may not be going thereafter all.

Reportedly, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge might cancelbecause of the ongoing tensions between New Delhi and Islamabad.

As per reports citing a statement released by Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office, the visit of the royal couple appeared unlikely due to the current turn of events in the region, The News International said in the report.

Had it materialised, the visit would have been Prince William and Kate’s first official visit by a member of the British royal family to Pakistan since 2006 when Prince Charles and Camilla had travelled to the South Asian country.

Previously, Queen Elizabeth II had gone to Pakistan in 1961 and 1997, and the late Princess Diana in 1991.
