Agree with Little_star, it's a shame they dont get to visit some of the wonderful historic sites, or see any of the beautiful buildings built during the time of the Mughal Empire; not to mention those built by the British when they ruled India, many of which are now part of present-day Pakistan.
Aren't they visiting Faisal Mosque in Islamabad though? It may not be centuries old but is a striking building nonetheless. Last edited by Humera; 10-31-2006 at 09:19 AM.

Hello all together, I`m so glad I am back. 3 month I had just little time to visit this forum, I got a new job and had to move away. But now its alright and I´m happy to see so lovely pics again. I think this journey will be very successful.

A dupatta is enough of a pain at the best of times, ensuring that your poppy stays pinned to it would be even more hassle!

The reasons given for the missing poppy are that;
a) The scarves the Duchess has been wearing are very thin and the poppy would snag or fall off. b) The Duchess needs to be prepared to pull the scarves over her head at any time should they meet a religious leader or enter a religious building Good enough for me. Traditionally you don't wear a poppy till the 4th anyway.

What is all the fuss about? I don't see how it would be appropriate for her to wear a poppy in Pakistan, a country that has no connection to the world wars really. I think that would actually be in quite poor taste.

The sad thing is that nobody really cares about the comparison anymore. It's not fashionable to compare anymore. The Daily Mail runs the risk of being left behind as people move on.

I don't know what the fuss is all about. The dresses that Diana and Camilla wore are white and thats it. The two dresses have different designs. The Daily Mail is constantly stirring up comparisons between Princess Diana and Camilla.

Im glad they got to see Taxila, what an amazing place indeed. I knew Prince Charles would want to visit the Buddhist monastary.
Camilla's outfit looks pretty, love the colour. Gettyimages has a picture of Charles buying his wife a grinder. They seem to be having a wonderful time.
