The royal parents — who graduated from the University of St. Andrews in 2005 — were there to officially open the Victoria and Albert Museum before meeting locals on the seafront, which has undergone a $1.3 billion redevelopment.

The art history graduate, 37, is patron of the V & A, and she has a keen interest in promoting the “visual arts and highlighting the value that public institutions like the Dundee site can offer local communities,” said a statement from Kensington Palace, “particularly in terms of increased accessibility to world-class art and design.”

The couple then headed to the Crescent Community Centre, where they met Michelin factory workers to talk about efforts to find new opportunities for employees following the factory’s planned closure. William is set to thank workers and their families at the Michelin Action Group to help ease the loss of the factory and find new, sustainable opportunities.
William and Kate last visited Dundee in 2015, a day that included achat with young people about mental health.
