Royal fright: Duchess Kate stuns shoppers with last-minute Halloween shopping spree at local supermarket
The Duchess of Cambridge has been spotted browsing for Halloween kids’ costumes at a local supermarket near the family’s country retreat on Thursday.
According to The Sun, the Cambridge family are spending the half term school holidays at their countryside retreat, which is known as Anmer Hall.
An onlooker said the Duchess of Cambridge was spotted picking up Halloween costumes with Prince George, 6, and Princess Charlotte, 4.
“It was lovely to see her [Kate] just being a normal mum shopping with her kids,” the onlooker said.
“I love how she [Kate] just goes about her normal life, she is so down to earth.”
Another onlooker told The Daily Star about the encounter.
"Another shopper said that Kate was in the shop near the clothing and pointed where she was to me. I just couldn't believe it.
"She was with Charlotte and George looking at Halloween outfits, but her bodyguard was kind of watching people with phones and telling them no pictures.”
Royal expert Phil Dampier said that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are making sure that their kids are getting a “normal childhood”.
He spoke to Fabulous Digital about it.
“William and Kate have made sure that their three children are getting as normal a childhood as possible and they all love the outdoor life.
“At Anmer Hall in Norfolk they go for long walks in woods and have frequent trips to the beach.
“Kate’s mum Carole is very close to George and often takes him out alone.”
Fans were quick to praise the Duchess for being “relatable”.
“Over the years I've enjoyed seeing pics of Kate going about routine things like shopping,” one fan wrote.
“She is a perfect representative of the Crown while on royal duties, and just relatable Kate when not on duties.”
Another added: “Humble family.”
