Celebrities rub shoulders with the royal couple at grand reception

The grand Royal reception hosted for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at the Pakistan Monument in Islamabad by the British High Commissioner to Pakistan Thomas Drew and his wife saw the who’s who in Pakistan in attendance. From politicians to celebrities to sportsmen to entrepreneurs – it was a star-studded event and one we wish we also had a chance to attend. But since that didn’t happen, we were glued to our phones for all the live updates from the event.

While a lot of celebrities were in attendance at the event, not everyone got a chance to snap a picture with the royal couple.

King of Couture, Hassan Sheheryar Yasin was among the few lucky ones who were introduced to William and Kate. He not only got a picture but also got a chance to interact with them. We hear that Kate will be donning an outfit by the designer on the visit.

Maheen Khan, whose creation the Duchess wore for her first royal engagement also interacted with the couple.

Mehwish Hayat said that it was a “real pleasure” to meet the royal visitors.

Was a real pleasure to meet with the royal visitors last night. William is a real life Prince Charming & was genuinely excited abt being here. Hope that this visit helps show the world the real side of Pakistan & not what media has been showing. #RoyaltourPakistan #PrinceWilliam pic.twitter.com/9wY8BRDGp0

Mahira Khan and Masarrat Misbah also got a moment with the Prince.

As did Shehzad Roy.

Others who attended the event included Atif Aslam, Hareem Farooq, Momina Mustehsan, Yousaf Sallahuddin, Ahad Raza Mir, Sajal Aly, Wasim and Shaniera Akram and Shaan Shahid.

Atif looked dapper in a sherwani by Mohsin Naveed Ranjha while Mahira looked lovely in Misha Lakhani.

While the celebrities have not yet shared high-quality pictures yet, UK-based DJ Noreen Khan who was the red carpet host, shared pictures with the celebrities.
