Many Britons will be shocked to see the royal doing her own shopping. Most memebers of the so-called ‘Firm’ are not seen doing their mundane everyday tasks among the rest of the public.
Kelly Lynch, royal expert and managing editor at Daily Break told Express.co.uk: “For as long as Kate has been with William (and even before), she's stuck to a relatively "normal" routine in that she does her own grocery shopping.
“In fact, just days after her wedding in 2011, Kate was grocery shopping in Wales.”
However, the pictures a strange for one other reason, according to the royal expert.
She added: “The most bizarre thing about these paparazzi pics is that many British outlets have an agreement with the palace not to take candid photos of the Royal Family in their private lives, and this qualifies as a private outing.
“While no one (to my knowledge) has seen the Queen pushing her cart up the cereal aisle, Kate is no stranger something as basic as grocery shopping.”
Kate has been seen shopping before, but in younger years before her marriage to Prince William.
Since then she has avoided being papped going about her daily tasks.
