‘It’s been really special’: Kate Middleton gives her first news interview in almost 9 years

Kate Middleton has spoken about how much she's enjoyed her royal tour of Pakistan in her first news interview in almost nine years.

She and husband Prince William have been travelling across the country this week, highlighting causes they are passionate about. During a visit to a children's orphanage, Kate spoke to CNN's Max Foster

"William and I really wanted to come and see an SOS Children's Village like this," 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 to support and protect the next generation of children in their care and give them the best possible start to their future lives."

"You look like you've really, really enjoyed the entire visit," Max responded.

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

It is the first time Kate has spoken on camera like this since her engagement interview with William back in 2010. In that interview with ITV's Tom Bradby, the couple adorably revealed how their first meeting went and skirted around the question of starting a family.
