Prince William returns to St Andrews with Kate Middleton 20 years after first meeting

Just a mile away from their old university!

Prince William returned to St Andrews today (Wednesday May 26) with his wife Kate Middleton – which is where they first met while at university.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took part in a land yacht race on West Sands Beach.

And footage showed William gaining an advantage on his wife with some sharp steering as they went round a bend!

According to reports, the wind lifted Kate’s back wheel at one point.

Kate wore a lacy dress to swan down the catwalk – but this morning she wrapped up in a Barbour jacket!

According to MailOnline, Kate also wore Chloe boots and Campbell’s of Beauly Fairisle Jumper for the engagement.

During their time in Scotland, Kate and William have also travelled to Orkney – and were tickled by a young boy asking Kate whether she is a prince or a princess. The Cambridges also opened the new Balfour hospital in Kirkwall.

They’ve also helped prepare meals for vulnerable families with Sikh Sanjog. And the couple also visited a renewable energy turbine that combats climate change.

Furthermore, Kate also drew comparisons to Princess Diana earlier in the week. That’s because she wore a blue outfit similar to one worn by the Princess of Wales in Scotland in 1992.
