Countess Kate officially opened the new design space in her role as V&A patron.

“Last February, I was delighted to be asked to be the @V_and_A's Patron. Now, nearly a year later, I’m thrilled to be standing in a brand new V&A: one which has been built for the city of Dundee and for Scotland.” — The Duchess of Cambridge @VADundee #RoyalVisitDundee pic.twitter.com/UyuCeWI8nI

Following a walkabout on the waterfront, the royal couple joined a meeting of the Michelin Dundee Action Group, which is working to repurpose the tyre factory which will soon shutdown, and ensure new employment opportunities for the local area.

Kate wore a familiar coatdress by Alexander McQueen for the away-day. The Duchess first sported the bespoke black watch tartan coat in November of 2012 for a visit to  her old prep school. The piece was seen again on Christmas Day 2013.
