Overview
- At Stirling’s National Curling Academy, the couple met Team GB and Paralympics GB athletes preparing for Milano‑Cortina and tried the sport, with Kate winning a friendly head‑to‑head.
- They toured Radical Weavers in Stirling, learned about tartan weaving and contributed to a project to create the world’s longest tartan scarf, as William held Kate’s coat.
- Kate wore a bespoke blue tartan coat by Chris Kerr using Johnstons of Elgin cloth, with the Princess credited for helping design the fabric, and accessorized with sapphire jewelry.
- An impromptu photo stop at The Kelpies in Falkirk briefly delayed their arrival at the academy.
- One engagement was kept off public schedules for security reasons, and no meeting was expected with Prince Harry, who was in London for legal proceedings.
