The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent the day in Dundee, Scotland and undertook a number of engagements related to youth mental well-being.

The Earl and Countess of Strathearn, as they are known in Scotland, met while studying at nearby St Andrews University. Kensington Palace tweeted that the royal couple spent last night in St Andrews, staying at the luxurious Old Course Hotel.
Picture
The first stop for William & Kate in Dundee was the city's Rep Theatre, where they joined a group of young volunteers with See Me, a Scotland-wide initiative to end mental health stigma, who discussed their experiences of the issue and how they were helping others.

View image | gettyimages.com
Next for William & Kate was a visit to to The Corner, an institution which runs a drop-in centre for teenagers wanting advice on a range of issues.

Next on the agenda was a visit to explorer Captain Scott's ship Royal Research Ship Discovery, which was built in Dundee and carried him and Ernest Shackleton on their first expedition to Antarctica in 1901.

View image | gettyimages.com
The final stop for the Earl and Countess of Strathearn was Abertay University, where the royal couple  met young beneficiaries of BAFTA’s support for new talent in the gaming industry.

Today, Kate wore a bespoke blue coat from Scottish designer Christopher Kane.

Kate teamed the coat with a black turtleneck knit top and a matching Christopher Kane kilt-style skirt made of the same fabric as the coat.

Kate accessorized with familiar items including her Aquatalia by Marvin K. Black 'Rhumba' boots.
