Kate Middleton, Duchess Of Cambridge, Goes Grocery Shopping
Like, For Real
Last weekend, Kate Middleton married Prince William of Wales and immediately became a member of the British Royal Family as the Duchess of Cambridge. This week, the Duchess ventured out in Anglesey to do a bit of grocery shopping. That?s right, grocery shopping ? with a run of the mill shopping cart and everything. While most other people would prolly be spending their first week as a new member of royalty doing pretty much anything else more substantive, it would seem that Kate is NOT letting her new status in life change her everyday lifestyle.
A week ago she was walking up the aisle in front of a global audience of billions. Now, a dressed-down Duchess of Cambridge is strolling down aisles of a more mundane kind as she does the weekly shop like any other housewife. In a loose-fitting green poncho and white V-neck sweatshirt worn with skinny jeans and ballet pumps, Kate pushed a trolley among dozens of shoppers at Waitrose on the island of Anglesey ? Onlookers said she had a spring in her step as she filled several carrier bags and loaded them into the boot of her Audi A3. Kate smiled at locals as well as the photographer as she ?skipped? across the car park to return her empty trolley before driving back to the remote farmhouse that she shares with her new husband. For anyone who has remained oblivious to months of build-up to their wedding, the only clues to Kate?s royal status were three police bodyguards, a back-up car and the jewelery on her wedding finger. Tucked behind her sapphire engagement ring was the plain Welsh gold band that marked her transformation from a commoner into Her Royal Highness on Friday ? and will eventually guarantee her a seat on the throne. Around the wrist of her other hand, she appeared to be wearing an elastic hair band, though yesterday afternoon she let her blow-dried locks hang loose. Kate, 29, is likely to have been preparing a special dinner for her new husband, who returned yesterday morning from a busy 24-hour shift as a search and rescue pilot. One onlooker said: ?It looked like she was stocking up on the basics, but she also bought a few special items, so perhaps she was preparing their first romantic meal as a married couple. She loaded all the shopping into her car on her own, then skipped as she ran the trolley back to the park. She looked very happy and was smiling at people. Most people didn?t even spot who it was, despite her being probably the most famous person in the world at the moment.? It is the first time Kate has been out and about in public since she and William departed for a weekend break on Saturday, the day after marrying at Westminster Abbey.
I don?t even know what to say about this. Kate is clearly the TRUE people?s princess. I don?t think even Princess Diana went grocery shopping the week after her royal wedding to Prince Charles ? to be honest, I doubt she ever stepped foot in a store like this all by herself the whole time she was married to the prince. It?s very evident that Kate wants to keep her life as normal as possible ? whether she is a royal or not. It looks like the Duchess of Cambridge likes to keep it real, yo. That is something I can totally respect.
