Kate Middleton takes Prince George and Princess Charlotte shopping before their school reopens after Easter

The kids enjoyed relaxing with their mum on a shopping spree on April 19, and paid for their own things with their own money, according to a store executive

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, was seen having a family shopping spree with her two eldest children, Prince George, 7, and Princess Charlotte, 5, on Monday, April 19. The kids spent some relaxed time with their mum, shopping from stores on the King’s Road in London, ahead of the opening of their school on Tuesday, April 20, after the Easter holidays.

A woman named Alexa took to Twitter to share her happiness on the fact that the Duchess of Cambridge visited a shop she served in. She posted, “I’ve always been a Kate Middleton fan... today she was in one of my stores on the Kings Road with George and Charlotte, what the team told me about how she was with them and how the kids were with each other makes me like her even more!”

When one person on the internet asked Alexa, “Spill, please. What was she like?” She replied, “I wasn’t there but she talked to my team, the kids had a budget that they stuck to and paid for their own things with their own money.  Just normal well brought up children and a normal parent trying to do the right thing and that’s just lovely!” Several fans of the royal then jumped into the conversation and shared their love for Kate.

One user said referred to the appearance of the mother-of-three at Prince Philip's funeral on Saturday, April 17, saying: “After last weekend she is clearly a National Treasure along with the Princess Royal, and Duchess of Wessex.”

“She never puts a foot wrong, even on a very bad day. She’s so dignified and was made for the job. Catherine the Great, indeed,” another user tweeted.

One person remarked that she has also been seen in local supermarkets "here in Norfolk (sadly not by me). Buying stationery and clothes for and with the children. Just another mum buying home schooling supplies.”

A second one stated, “I was buying Wellies in Holt and she was in the shop... she's so low key and charming, really lovely.” “I live in Norfolk and she visits a few of the shops here, she stopped and chatted to a friend of mine who was also shopping with her children. She seems really friendly and happy to chat to, people,” the third added.

According to reports, in 2020, just before the coronavirus lockdown, Catherine was seen with all her three children in Sainsbury's in King's Lynn, close to the family's Norfolk home, Anmer Hall, on another shopping trip. A witness said at the time to HELLO!, “She was with the children, and she looked lovely. She is absolutely beautiful, and the children were beautiful. They were so well behaved. She was just having a little bit of a walk around. They were looking at the clothes when I saw them. Charlotte was looking at the dresses.”

Kate’s recent appearance came soon after the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral on Saturday. The eldest family member died on April 9 after experiencing health issues for the past few weeks. He was 99.

After his demise, the Royal Family issued a statement that read, “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen announces the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle. Further announcements will be made in due course. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss."
