Cue choir of angels! The Earl and Countess of Strathearn -- as they're called in Scotland -- went to Dundee today to open [the V&A Dundee ](https://www.vam.ac.uk/dundee/info/about?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is the only V&A that's not....you know, *the* V&A. Kate is the patron of *the* V&A, which is maybe her patronage of which I am most jealous. Do you think they let you into the back rooms to look at the rest of the cake-server collection, or try on the jewelry? (I *love* the V&A. It has so much *stuff.*) Kate gave a speech:

> “Last February, I was delighted to be asked to be the [@V\_and\_A](https://twitter.com/V%5Fand%5FA?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)'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](https://twitter.com/VADundee?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [#RoyalVisitDundee](https://twitter.com/hashtag/RoyalVisitDundee?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [pic.twitter.com/UyuCeWI8nI](https://t.co/UyuCeWI8nI?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)

Then they had a little walkabout, before meeting with employees of the Dundee Michelin Factory, which is closing down. The Dundee Michelin Action Group is basically (as far as I can tell) trying to figure out what to do so all these people aren't suddenly totally unemployed. Jobs are a good cause for them to be coming out to support. Wills looks SERIOUSLY IRKED about the whole thing:

> At the Crescent Community Centre The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge meet employees and their families from the Dundee Michelin factory, to hear first-hand how they have been affected by the news that tyre production is to cease on the site.

[The last time they were in Dundee, Kate stole a boat](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/wills-kate-middleton-visit-scotland-10-2015/). This time, she has popped up in MY FAVORITE of her coats -- a coat we love so much, [it makes a cameo in *The Royal We*.](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/royal-christmas-hand-holding-a-retrospective/the-royal-family-attend-christmas-day-service-at-sandringham?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) We truly are getting a Greatest Hits of Kate lately and I am delighted. (It's also, obviously, apt to wear your tartan coat to Scotland.) BLACK WATCH TARTAN COAT FOREVER! (This exact coat is, of course, mega-old and no longer for sale, but [a place called \[appropriately\] The Scotland Shop is selling a duplicate called The Kate Coat that yes, I kinda want.](https://www.scotlandshop.com/us/clothing/women/plaid-jacket/the-kate-coat-in-plaid?tartan=Black+Watch+Modern&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIkZf8%5F8eT4AIVi7jACh3GOgo1EAQYBCABEgLIOPD%5FBwE&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Also Ralph Lauren is selling [a black watch cape that is very appealing](https://rstyle.me/n/dfateycfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io).)

Today does bring with it new accessories, though: [This MAD CUTE little green handbag](https://rstyle.me/n/dfas87cfjyp?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) that (in my head) Meghan gave Kate for Christmas (it's not sold out yet as I type this), and SCARVES FOR ALL. (Apparently, it's cold in Scotland today.)
