Get off the curb! Kate sparks fury of Chelsea passers-by as royal car blocks passage
KATE, the Duchess of Cambridge's recent visit to Chelsea sparked the fury of passers-by lamenting the parking of her drivers, a royal podcaster said.
Kate Middleton's driver got complaints for parking in Chelsea
Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge was recently spotted shopping at Peter Jones in Chelsea's fashionable Sloane Square. The Duchess of Cambridge looked casual in a Ralph Lauren sweater paired with skinny blue jeans and a Massimo Dutti long coat. But some passers-by appeared rather unimpressed with the visit as two ladies were spotted berating Kate's driver for his parking, podcaster Racher Bowie said.
The Royally Obsessed host Rachel Bowie said: "There were a lot of passers-by near the car she's getting into.
"Nobody looked like they realised...they had no idea. Actually, I read they complained about the way the car was parked.
"Two ladies were like yelling at Kate's driver to get off the curb and he was like, argh, and moved his car off the curb. It was funny."
She jokingly added: "And then he has to text Kate, he's like, 'I had to move spots'."

Ms Bowie and co-host Roberta Fiorito noted Kate appeared to go unnoticed as she donned a face mask to enter the shop.
Ms Fiorito suggested the mandatory face-coverings aided the Duchess of Cambridge in avoiding attracting the attention of the public when she is outside.
She said: "The mask helps her being incognito because back in March she was spotted out, I think Waterstone's bookstore in Kensington.
"And if there wasn't a mask, you would stop in your tracks and say, 'it's Kate Middleton.'

"But at this moment she could really fly under the radar."
The Duchess has been repeatedly spotted out and about on errands both by herself and with her three young children.
Photos emerged last year showing Kate walking across Battersea Bridge with her youngest child Prince Louis as they looked at the boats on the Thames.
And she was then spotted shopping with Prince George and Princess Charlotte for school accessories in Chelsea.

The Duchess won over much praise for her down-to-earth appearance whenever she is not on duty.
She is known not to shy away from doing the shopping herself, as she was repeatedly pictured at her local supermarket when she still lived in Anglesey earlier in her marriage to Prince William.
Kate also treated George and Charlotte to new Halloween costumes during a visit to Sainsbury's.
An onlooker said: "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."
They continued: "You just don’t expect it to happen, you think Kate would shop in Waitrose or Harrods."
