Kate Middleton stepped out in one of her most edgy outfits during her tour of Scotland tonight with Prince William for a drive-in screening of Disney’s new film Cruella. The Duchess of Cambridge wore a blue tartan Holland Cooper coat with heels and earrings borrowed from the Queen. She had her hair styled in a ponytail.

Kate and William’s appearance tonight comes after the couple visited University of St. Andrews in the afternoon, where the two met 20 years ago and fell in love. “20 years on—it was great to return to St Andrews to see fantastic projects that support the physical and mental health of young people,” the couple wrote on their Instagram of their visit.
The two spoke to students there about how they have been coping during the coronavirus pandemic. Kate dressed more causally for the outing, wearing a Holland Cooper blazer, Veja sneakers, an Erdem striped sweater, and skinny jeans.

Kate originally wasn’t planning to go to St. Andrews but changed her education plans to put herself in William’s path. “Kate was very strategic,” The Crown historian Robert Lacey told ELLE.com in November. “She gave up her place at one of Britain’s premier universities, Edinburgh, and opted for another one [St. Andrews] that probably didn’t have the same academic standard. She had already been to Edinburgh to get her flat accommodations sorted out but switched universities and switched her courses to history of art because that was William’s. She delayed her own education by a year and even takes the chance she won’t get into St. Andrews.”
Ultimately, Kate won William’s heart but had to wait nine years for him to propose. “Kate eventually accepted the idea that she would have to do a long apprenticeship,” Lacey recalled. “William didn’t want to marry until he was 30. She waited nine years, but, in the end, she got him at 28, so there’s another strategic accomplishment on her part—and she is proving to be an ideal heir to the throne.”
