   LAHORE, PAKISTAN - Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate toured
   Pakistan's eastern city of Lahore on Thursday, where they are set to
   visit a cancer hospital previously visited by William's mother, the
   late Princess Diana.
   The hospital was started by Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan, whose
   first wife Jemima Goldsmith was a friend of the late princess.

   The royal couple also played cricket with children and members of
   Pakistan's cricket team at the National Cricket Academy.
   Their day began with a birthday party at a charitable organization, SOS
   Children's Village, and they were also set to visit the historic
   Badshahi mosque.

   Since arriving, the royal couple have been advocates for girls'
   education, visiting a girl's school in Islamabad. They addressed
   climate change while in Pakistan's northern region, where glaciers are
   melting at an alarming rate.
