She may have been busy hosting Chinese president Xi Jinping and his glamorous wife Peng Liyuan over the past few days but there was no rest for the Duchess of Cambridge as she journeyed to Dundee with her husband on Friday.
Resplendent in a bespoke blue coat by Scottish designer, Christopher Kane, and Aquatalia suede knee length boots from Russell & Bromley, the mother-of-two joined Prince William to highlight mental health issues affecting young people on their first official visit to Dundee on Friday.
Whilst chatting to wellwishers who greeted the couple upon their arrival, Kate said she will vow to keep two-year-old Prince George off a motorbike when he grows up.
According to The Telegraph, Kate said she's vowed to ban her firstborn from riding motorbikes when he is older because Prince William's motorbikes fill her with horror and she hates it when he rides the 'dangerous' machines.

A local named Fearghas Simpson, 28, asked the Duchess if William still took his Ducati motorbike, which costs £20,000 and can go from 0-60mph in 2.5 seconds, out for a spin. The Prince was last seen riding the 190mph machine the night before the Royal Wedding in 2011.
Kate, who showcased a healthy glow and accessorised her look with coordinating blue drop earrings, a simple black clutch bag and suede gloves, replied: 'He's still riding it. It always fills me with horror when he goes out on it. I'm terrified. Hopefully, I'm going to keep George off it.'
The visit focuses on the mental wellbeing of youngsters, which is a major priority for William and Kate, both 33, who are known as The Earl and Countess of Strathearn in Scotland.
The couple - who met and studied at St Andrews University - met with young people dealing with mental health challenges, took part in an anti-bullying workshop and held a private meeting with leaders in Scotland's youth mental health sector.
Kate chose a coat rather fittingly designed by a Scottish fashion star and the striking royal blue wool coat was made just for her.
The slim-fitted dogtooth wool tailored coat with belt and a mini dogtooth wool kilt with belt was extremely appropriate for her Scottish visit.
The flattering style is similar in cut to the Christopher Kane dress coat she wore to the Olympics Opening Ceremony in 2012, and when teamed with her favourite Aquatalia knee high boots and a Stuart Weitzman clutch, the royal looked effortlessly chic.

Look beautiful in royal blue by Christopher Kane
What a week it has been for the Duchess of Cambridge, who has definitely mastered the art of dressing for the occasion!
For her first ever state banquet on Tuesday night she wore a bespoke dress by Jenny Packham, the bold red color of which was a nod to her guests. Then there was that Dolce & Gabbana number on Wednesday (no high street bargains here unfortunately!). And now that she and the Duke are visiting Dundee, Kate is flying the flag by wearing a coat by Scottish designer Christopher Kane.
We love the striking royal blue hue and belted design of this wool coat, which was made just for her. The flattering fitted style is similar in cut to the Christopher Kane dress coat she wore to the Olympics Opening Ceremony in 2012, and when teamed with her favorite Aquatalia knee high boots and a Stuart Weitzman clutch, it's classic Kate.
Of course her coat isn't available to buy, but click (right) to shop the current collection at Net-a-Porter. Or add a pop of color to your autumn wardrobe with one of the bold blue coats we've found for you elsewhere. Wallis and Ted Baker have got our top picks!

The day concluded with a visit to Abertay University, where The Duke, President of BAFTA, and the Duchess met with students involved in BAFTA's Young Game Designers programme.
Abertay University offers world-class tuition in computer game design and is home to the Scottish Centre for Excellence in Computer Games Education.

At Dundee Rep, William and Kate met with the cast and crew of In Her Shadows, a visual performance that explores a young woman's relationship with the complexity of her depression whilst challenging the stigmas that surround it.
While at the theatre, the Duke and Duchess met young people participating in a workshop with See Me, a group working to end mental health discrimination in Scotland. The young people the Royal couple met are using their experiences of mental health conditions to lead a change in the way people their age perceive mental health.

The Corner, funded in partnership by Dundee City Council and NHS Tayside, offers a range of physical and mental health services for young people, many of them peer-led.

The Duke and Duchess met a group of leaders in the Scottish Mental Health sector at a meeting organised by Young Scotland In Mind. YSIM is a forum for voluntary sector organisations that aims to improve mental health and wellbeing of all children and young people in Scotland. The meeting was held in The Shore, an events venue catering for 10-18 year olds in Dundee.
William and Kate, along with Prince Harry, are making the mental health of young people a key focus of their official and charitable work.
'Their Royal Highnesses, who first met while students at the nearby University of St Andrews, are delighted to be visiting Dundee and very much looking forward to the day,' said a Kensington Palace spokeswoman.
It's been a busy few days for the Duchess, who joined President Xi and Madam Peng Liyuan on a visit to Lancaster House on Wednesday morning - and pulled out all the stops in the sartorial stakes.
Whilst she has a reputation for being thrifty, Kate, who usually favours the high street, opted for a high-end £1,850 purple lace dress by Dolce & Gabbana.

The Guipure lace dress highlighted the mother-of-two's trim frame and she accessorised her look with a matching clutch and court shoes.
Kate, who wore her hair in its signature bouncy curls, joined the couple, as well as her husband, for an event called Creative Collaborations: UK & China, which involved meeting a range of UK and Chinese companies working in creative collaboration.
The foursome also met with British TV, film and theatre actors, including watching exhibitions and demonstrations by Poldark, BBC Earth, Sherlock, and the Society of London Theatre with Jackie Chan in attendance.
On Tuesday night, the Duchess of Cambridge chose a stunning, appropriate and memorable gown for her first state banquet at Buckingham Palace and only one designer would do - Jenny Packham.
The floor-sweeping dress, made in a stunning red in honour of the Queen's guests Chinese president Xi Jinping and his glamorous wife Peng Liyuan - combined a fitted round bodice with a round neck and cap sleeves with a long romantic skirt and was also simple enough to offset the stunning diamonds given and lent by the Queen.
