This is a good coat. I love a winter white. I liked it on Eugenie, too. I STILL remain unmoved by a wee belt, but you know. We take what we can get.

It must be weird to have people hanging out of windows when you pop over to places to meet children and talk about racing boats

And help paint a yacht on a mural that local kids have been working on. I hope what she's painting there is a weeee tiny Kate, [fresh off kicking William's yachting ass](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-wills-and-georges-royal-tour-of-australia-and-new-zealand-day-five-04-2014/).

## Kate, Ben Ainslie, Other People

Here's the dress, which I think it very cute. It almost looks like a polka dot. I also like the idea of a themed pattern for every event. Tiny sailboats for a sailing event. Little martini glasses for a cocktail party. Giant silk-screened images of The Queen for her birthday events. Etc.

This seems like a good time for an Informative Caption, no? Here you go: "The Duchess of Cambridge, patron of the 1851 Trust, tries a sailing winch simulator as part of a visit to Portsmouth to see the progress of building work on the new home of Ben Ainslie Racing as part of a British America's Cup entry with Ben Ainslie at the Spinnaker Tower."

"So it turns out the baby LOVES sailing winch simulators."

"I really don't think this guy's plan to introduce Wills to the Joys of Stocking Caps is actually going to work."

## Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge visits the headquarters of Ben Ainslie Racing in Portsmouth

"You know, in case you forget his name now that you're going to have two of them. Things get confusing."

[Royally Played: The Duchess of Cambridge in Max Mara and Alice Temperley Somerset for John LewisIt seems apt that the dress she's got on under there apparently has little sailboats on it, since Kate is visiting Hot Ben Ainslie's Fast Boat Racing Headquarters (perhaps not the official name of this location but...whatever. As ever, our friends at What Kate Wore have proper deets on the outing). If the aforementioned coat looks familiar, that's because Princess Eugenie wore the same coat at Christmas. I assume Kate stole it from her while Harry distracted everyone by setting the goat lose in Sandringham. Their thievery will surely not go unpunished. Princess Anne will not let this kind of shenanigan stand. \[Photos: Getty, Fame/Flynet, the Kensington Palace Instagram account, which you probably are interested in if you're reading this\]![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/ffn_middleton_kate_ffuk_021215_51651446.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/kate-middleton-duchess-of-cambridge-in-max-mara-and-somerset-by-alice-temperley-02-2015/)
