Like, "how's the familllllllarghhhhhh, um shit. Er. Uh, nice weather we're having?" (Reports from a local Fug National are that the weather *was* nice, if chilly.) Anyway, these two put on their best Pleasant Faces and went to Bradford for a day of engagements. Bradford has a large Pakistani community, so this visit also acted as a nice connector to their recent royal tour: > Evoking memories of [#RoyalVisitPakistan](https://twitter.com/hashtag/RoyalVisitPakistan?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) at [@mylahore](https://twitter.com/mylahore?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), where The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met apprentices from [@BradfordCollege](https://twitter.com/BradfordCollege?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) before trying their hands at making mango and kulfi milkshakes [#RoyalVisitBradford](https://twitter.com/hashtag/RoyalVisitBradford?src=hash&ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) [pic.twitter.com/ao4lK8YzpZ](https://t.co/ao4lK8YzpZ?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) > > — Kensington Palace (@KensingtonRoyal) [January 15, 2020](https://twitter.com/KensingtonRoyal/status/1217488665628303360?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw&ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) Outfit-wise, Kate's new coat is Alexander McQueen, to join the one kajillion other McQueen coats she owns -- I don't love this one, but I never really like that style of collar on a coat in general; in this color story, I [prefer her old Sport Max coat](https://www.gofugyourself.com/photos/wills-and-kate-go-to-blackpool-harry-and-meghan-take-we-day/prince-william-and-catherine-duchess-of-cambridge-visit-to-blackpool-uk-06-mar-2019-3?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but she did not ask me. (If she wants to call and talk about which of her McQueen coats I like best, though, I am *also* available for that chat because, yes, I do know off the top of my head.) Having said that, her dress under it is [Zara, it's currently $35, and it's totally sold out and I really like it](https://www.zara.com/us/en/printed-dress-with-belt-p02057006.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), which is for the best because Heather and I are on a massive book deadline right now and I have a tendency to stress-shop. (Kate loves this sort of Prim 40s Situation.) In other news, THESE CAKES ARE AMAZING: > This amazing lady Siama Ali from Bradford spent three days baking these amazing cup cakes & main to depict Kate & William’s childhood, meet, engagement, wedding & children.
