Kate Middleton and Prince William visit Assyakirin Mosque on September 14, 2012 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
With Prince William, 30, at her side, the Duchess arrived at the Asyakirin Mosque in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia on Friday morning in what was their first visit to any mosque in the world.
For the landmark moment, Kate wore an off-white Belulah dress, a custom veil, nude tights and her go-to LK Bennett heels, which she removed before entering the mosque itself. Looking especially radiant and serene in photos from the visit, the Duchess brought to mind one of the most iconic snaps of her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana – who similarly donned a traditional headdress for a visit to the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan in June, 1996 (just one year before her tragic death in a car accident in Paris at age 36).
Diana was chubby—could have stood to lose a few pounds, had a big nose, and a masculine hairstyle. She had pretty eyes though. Kate has a prettier face and prettier hair than Diana but Kate's a bit too thin.
