Kate Middleton and Prince William have just returned from their poignant five-day Pakistan tour, which was branded the most “complex” ever due to security reasons.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are said to have ripped up the royal rulebook and made an unscheduled meeting with a local family they met on a roadside.
Duchess Kate is said to have been so moved by their story, that she took some beautiful portrait photos, which captured their strength.

The villagers were part of the Wakhi ethnic group and were spotted when the couple was traveling back from a glacier in the Hindu Kush mountains.
Duchess Kate is said to have asked her security team to stop the car so she and William could speak to the locals, and they were invited into their one-room home for tea.
With the use of a translator, Duchess Kate learned how they lived without running water and electricity and were confined to their home for half a year due to snow.
