I would love to hear her laugh.

I would love for them to come to the United States.

She's lucky. Even in flats she looks tall.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Excitable dogs are hard to control whether you are a royal or not - as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge found out during their visit today

I really like all of her outfits on this trip! I'm loving the long tunics with slim pants. I also like those black flats she's wearing on the last ensemble. They are beautiful and look so much more comfortable than those spike heels that she wears all the time in public.

Will and Kate's last event was at the Army Canine Centre, where dogs are trained to detect explosive devices. The unit, which works in partnership with the UK, does crucial work.

Modeled on the UK Defence Animal Training Centre at Melton Mowbray, Britain is supporting the Pakistan Counter Improvised Explosive Device (CIED) programme, which breeds and trains dogs to identify bombs.

Pakistani officers say the dog programme has been a huge success, finding 19 tons of explosives and 700 homemade bombs in the past three years. Bomb incidents have fallen 30 per cent since 2015

Will gave a talk about the importance of security in Pakistan, telling the audience that what happened in the country had an impact on people in the UK.

Kate - whose mother, Carol, breeds her own dogs - was clearly comfortable in Polka's company at the Islamabad training centre

@lmt

Thanks for posting all these lovely pictures.

Seeing this lovely, happy young couple doing work for their country makes me feel hopeful.

Maybe in private they are cranky and awful, but I doubt it. They always seem at ease and just happy to be wherever they are.

I think they are both "dog" people, but I won't hold that against them
