The Duchess of Cambridge opened up to CNN’s Max Foster about a cause close to her heart, following her visit to SOS children’s village in Lahore, Pakistan with husband Prince William.

The Duchess, who is behind an Early Years initiative last year, said: “I think William and I really wanted to come and see a SOS children’s village like this. There’s so many vulnerable women here but they’ve really used their positivity and the support that the village here provides them really to support and protect the next generation, the children in their care and give them the best possible start to their future lives.”

The mother-of-three also discussed just how much she loved her five-day tour of Pakistan.

“It’s been fantastic, we’ve seen a lot of Pakistan, a huge variety, it’s amazing seeing some of the geography but then to see some of the community activities like this has been really special.”

The royal duo sat down for an interview following their engagement in November 2010. Kate has only appeared in documentaries since.

William and Kate’s final engagement was in Islamabad before they flew home to London, arriving on Friday night.
