It’s a rare occasion that you’ll see Kate Middleton wearing a tiara. But during her tour of Pakistan, the Duchess of Cambridge happily donned a glittery tiara for a very special reason.

While Kate and Prince William were visiting the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Cancer Hospital and Research Centre in Pakistan, they sat down to have a tea party with a seven-year-old girl, Wafia Rehmani. Both Kate and the little girl wore matching toy tiaras for the occasion. 

Even Prince William joined in the fun, sipping on his imaginary tea.

According to Daily Express royal reporter Richard Palmer, Wafia is in the hospital with a kidney tumor. She aspires to be a doctor, and showed Kate and Prince William her toy medical set.
