In line with religious protocol: Prince William and his wife Kate, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge take their shoes off before entering the Assyakirin Mosque in the centre of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, which they visited this morning on the latest stage of their tour of South-East Asia on behalf of the Queen to mark her Diamond Jubilee
Sensitivity: According to Islamic religious law, all visitors to mosques must remove their shoes and women must cover their hair before entering. Kate wore a pale grey dress by Beulah London with a draped head scarf. The label is run by the couple's friend Lady Natasha Rufus Isaacs. She left her £185 nude LK Bennett heels by the door
Ready to go: Prince William pulls his socks up after removing his shoes, as the Duchess rises from her seat to join him on their guided tour of the city center mosque
Keen: Both William and Kate were attentive and eager to learn more about the mosque, which had gone under a $10.2million renovation in 2009 to double capacity from 6,000 to 12,000
Modern outlook: The Palace said the royal couple were keen to visit a mosque as Islam is an important part of UK culture and the main religion in Malaysia
Homework: Miss Ibrahim said she was impressed at how much the Royal couple knew about Islamic architecture
Favourites: The Duchess's trusty LK Bennett nude platform shoes lie tucked under a chair next to her husband's brogues during their visit to the Assyakirin Mosque
'Fantastic visit': A left-handed Prince William signs the mosque's visitors book while his wife seems to be having trouble with her fountain pen
Well coiffed: Kate shed her veil on arrival at the city centre park to reveal her hair tied back in an elegant knot
