Following her and Prince William's recent five-day tour of Pakistan, the mother-of-three took to the digital platform to share a series of candid photographs from the SOS Children's Village in Lahore - a nonprofit organisation which rehomes vulnerable children.

In the moving images, the royal couple can be seen playing with local children from trying their hand at cricket and crafting handmade bracelets to getting creative with colouring pencils.

Speaking about their historic experience in Pakistan - the royal couple are the first members of the Windsor clan to visit the nation in over 13 years - Kate captioned the post: "The community at the SOS Village is built around family - and the best possible family you could imagine - where everyone comes together to nurture, love and protect the children in their care."

The community at the SOS Village is built around family - and the best possible family you could imagine - where everyone comes together to nurture, love and protect the children in their care. These vulnerable children, many who have come through traumatic circumstances, are nurtured in this caring environment and are able to form these quality relationships that they so desperately need to thrive. - Catherine

In a surprisingly personal touch, the royal even signed off the post with just her first name.

"These vulnerable children, many who have come through traumatic circumstances, are nurtured in this caring environment and are able to form these quality relationships that they so desperately need to thrive. - Catherine," she concluded the post.

Though it's not the first time Kate has opened up about her time spent in the country, as she recently shared her experience with the public in a rare television interview with CNN.

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

"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 of children in their care and give them the best possible start to their future lives."

The couple's historic trip marked the first official tour of Pakistan by a British royal since 2006, when Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall famously paid a visit.

Though the Cambridges' most recent overseas tour is sure to hold a special place in Prince William's heart, as his late mother Princess Diana also travelled to the country as part of a solo trip back in 1991.
