It’s less than a week until Halloween{ =nofollow}, and even Kate Middleton has been getting into the spirit of the ghoulish holiday. The royal was spotted in Sainsbury's buying costumes for Prince George and Princess Charlotte. As reported bythe Metro, the Duchess of Cambridge was photographed by mother-of-four Kathy Whittaker as she used the self-service checkouts in Hardwick, Cambridgeshire. (It isn't known what costumes she purchased, though.)

According to the shopper, Kate asked other families in the shop what they were dressing as for Halloween, even though she was flanked by a bodyguard at all times. Whittaker said, ‘Another shopper said that Kate was in the shop near the clothing and pointed where she was to me. I just couldn’t believe it! 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.’

She added, ‘Kate was wearing black trousers and a black polo neck. Charlotte was wearing a little chequered skirt but I couldn’t see anything else. She was saying: “Come on kids” – she just understandably wanted to keep them safe. You just don’t expect it to happen, you think Kate would shop in Waitrose or Harrods. She just seemed so down to earth and beautiful as always!’

Normally, a Halloween costume in the supermarket costs under £10. Last December, Kate was spotted in The Range in Norfolk with George and Charlotte as they looked for some last-minute buys.

While on the royal tour of Pakistan, Kate was also recently spotted wearing £23.99 shoes from New Look and earrings from a local Pakistani designer, which only cost £10. The royal has just been reunited with her stylist and assistant Natasha Archer, who has recently returned from maternity leave.
