Lainey publishes creepy photos of Catherine Duchess of Cambridge shopping

**Novice** · November 23rd, 2011, 09:46 AM

OK, just my opinion, but these photos taken from the offices of the supermarket that Kate's does her supermarket shopping at are, imo, a little creepy. Very voyeristic.

And taken with a decent camera (check the focus out!).

Zoom in on This
People keep wanting there to be a baby inside Catherine Cambridge. In Touch reported last week that she is indeed pregnant. Right. It’s In Touch. In other words, we’re nowhere. But now the obsessive Princess BumpWatch has moved into another gear. And everyone’s trying to zoom in on her belly to see if they can barely make out a royal fetus. Ew.

Here’s Kate at the Tesco yesterday back in Wales. So you’re at the grocery picking up some food. And Kate Middleton’s at the check-out. Please. You’re paying for one banana if you have to to get into that line, right? Would you ask her opinion on the orange juice? “How is it? Is it too sweet?” Would you offer commentary on her cereal? “Oh that’s a good brand, it keeps me regular.”

What? Conversation unbecoming a Princess?

Also on Kate’s grocery list: apparently a lot of fruit, a whole chicken, and some ice cream. Obviously for Will.

WTF is all that last bit???

I've decided after these photos that I feel sorry for her & this scrutiny. It is unrelenting, especially ironic given the committees going on at the moment.

Wait, she does her own grocery shopping?

Of course she does her own grocery shopping (she might not be after these photos get out, obviously security is not a priority at Tescos).
There are lots of photos from the car-park but these are the first I've seen from inside the store.

Ha! Saw this one on JJ, someone is going to get their arse kicked!

Is it even her? Looks too fat.

Yes. There have been photos of her at the supermarket before. I like that she does her own shopping.
These do have a bit of a creepy vibe to them.

I agree. I don't like these pictures, they're very voyeuristic.

hmmm, I just assumed royals had cooks/maids to do this sort of thing for them. I know when I snag a Prince, grocery shopping is one of the first chores off of my list.

haha! Cleaning would be mine.
While the royals are in the forces (Wills is in the RAF), thay are encouraged to be as "normal" as possible. She could always order on line & have it delivered (or pick up in store), but maybe she doesn't mind it. I think if you know that you're not going to have to do it forever its ok, plus she gets to buy her own stuff, I'd not like someone else pawing over my fruit, etc....

What else does she have to do? I think she can manage a trip to the grocery, but I would be sorta pissed about the creepy shots. Could be a really good security cam. I thought there was a huge broohaha about them doing their own domestic stuff and not having live in help.

Well, she can't be seen posing at the damned shops. I wouldn't be surprised if she was complicit in this. Makes her look normal and easier to relate to. You know, the kinder, gentler new monarchy. The crown has more PR strategy than all of Hollywood.
