Kate Middleton stepped out in Norfolk on Thursday to her local Sainsbury’s supermarket to buy Halloween costumes for Prince George and Princess Charlotte, People magazine reported on Friday.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 37, and her children were spotted by locals in the Halloween clothing aisle of the Kings Lynn Hardwick supermarket. The British royals even took time to chat with stunned shoppers.

I think she bought some Halloween bits for her kids, but I don’t know what.”

George, 6, and Charlotte, 4, are currently on a fall break from Thomas’s Battersea where they both attend. People also noted Middleton and her husband Prince William have no royal engagements next week so it seems likely the family will enjoy the Halloween festivities in their country home in Norfolk.
This isn’t the first time the royal was seen shopping at local stores solo.

They just seemed like a family traveling together, to be honest. No one saw them get on the plane either. It was amazing how they did it — they must have slipped on quietly after people were already seated.”
