Pregnant Kate Middleton Was Just Spotted Grocery Shopping Like a Normal Person — See the Pics!

The age-old saying states, "stars, they're just like us!" And when it comes to the Cambridge clan, they continually surprise the world with just how down-to-earth they really are. Royal watchers recently got a major surprise when Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was spotted doing her own grocery shopping at the supermarket chain Waitrose in Norfolk, England just days before she's due to welcome her third child.

Of course, such a mind-blowing event didn't go unnoticed, with one shopper snapping iPhone photos — later shared on Instagram by royal fan account @royalteawithjam — of Kate in action. Somehow, the 36-year-old wife of Prince William managed to make her aisle style effortlessly chic in a peach-colored double-breasted coat by Joseph, slim-fit trousers, and black boots.

So, the obvious question on everyone's minds is now — what is in Kate's shopping bag? The onlooker claimed that Kate bought either a sprig of coriander or parsley, apparently with a 25 percent off sticker on it. The bargain-hunting Duchess also brought along her own recyclable bags and purchased her goods at the self-service check-out system, before packing them into her Land Rover as a royal protection officer stood close by.

The roving royal reporter said hello to Kate and she reportedly replied, "Hi, hello," the Daily Mail reported. "I was just in Waitrose doing a bit of shopping. I just went around the corner of the aisle — and I saw her. I said to my husband, 'That looks like Kate Middleton.' He said, 'It's not,' and I said, 'It is,'" the witness recalled. "It was like a surreal experience, to see her doing everyday things," the woman added. Indeed, it's not the first time a royal has acted like us mere mortals. In 2016, Prince Harry was spotted running into his local Waitrose grocery story in Kensington, England to pick up some eggs.

Despite being on maternity leave, Kate was last pictured at the annual royal church service at St George's Chapel in Windsor on Sunday, April 1 for the Easter holiday. The soon-to-be mother-of-three is set to give birth to her third royal baby sometime this month.
