Firm favourite: Kate's structured coat is understood to be at least six years old, with the duchess having worn it on a visit to St Andrew's in November 2012 and on Christmas Day at Sandringham in 2013, while the crossbody bag is a new addition
Wrapped up warm in a tartan Alexander McQueen coat and green scarf, the Duchess was all smiles despite the chilly temperatures as she joined her husband for their first joint engagement of the year.
Earlier, the couple officially opened Scotland's first design museum, the V&A, which is just half an hour's drive from St. Andrew's University where they first locked eye
The new museum, which is at the heart of a £1 billion waterfront regeneration plan, is already bringing significant economic and social benefits to the local area, helping to reshape the city's future as a hub for the creative industries.
The duchess, a keen amateur photographer, made a short speech during her visit, celebrating the addition of the new cultural centre for Scotland and the UK in her role as patron of V&A.
She said: 'Last February, I was delighted to become Patron of The V&Ain London.
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, and which is already picking up international awards.
