Prince William is remembering Princess Diana during his royal tour of Pakistan [1] with the Duchess of Cambridge. On Tuesday, the Duke of Cambridge visited the Islamabad Model College For Girls, where he bonded with a group of students over their mutual love [2] for his late mother, Princess Diana. Fourteen-year-old Aima reportedly told Will that they were "big fans" of Diana, to which William replied, "You were, really? Oh, that's very sweet of you. I was a big fan of my mother too."

Diana — who died in a fatal car accident [3] in August 1997 — famously visited Pakistan in the '90s, and the trip marks Will's first time in the country. "She came here three times. I was very small," Will said. "This is my first time, and it is very nice to be here and meet you all."

During Will and Kate's five-day trip, the royal couple will make several stops in Islamabad, Lahore, along the Western border, and in the mountains in the North.
