THE Real Kate
Duchess Kate could have been mistaken for any other busy parent as she walked through the aisles of the local Sainsbury’s supermarket near her country home in Norfolk last March, just before the start of the COVID-19 lockdown. Kate, 38, carried 2-year-old Louis in her arms with Prince George, 7, and Princess Charlotte, 5, walking alongside her as she picked up an enchilada dinner kit and placed it in her shopping cart, which was being pushed by a security officer.
The quick-and-easy family meal surprised a fellow shopper, who spotted Kate and the royal siblings in the aisles. “You wouldn’t have thought anything different about her,” says local mum Kate Carter. “It was just a normal shopping day out. The kids weren’t playing up, they weren’t misbehaving. It was all so normal – but she’s not normal!”
