Women and mall sales seem to always go together, even for women of royalty. Duchess Kate Middleton has been spotted out of the Palace and guess what, she was out to shop!

Mall-goers at the Bicester Village shopping center in England were agog with excitement as they spotted the duchess herself going around and buying stuff like any normal shopper.

The 32-year old wife of Prince William was seen going from one luxury brand store to another about 60 miles north of West London. She was seen scouring the stores of Gucci, Reiss, Bonpoint, Lacoste and Ralph Lauren.

According to a witness who talked to E! News, Kate was on her own but she had her bodyguards close by. Netizens then took to Twitter to post the unusual royal encounter.

A certain Eliza Sandaver tweeted, "Just seen Kate Middleton shopping in Gucci."

"She's so pretty," "So weird seeing a princess," tweeted another.

Kate tried to blend in by doning a casual outfit of jeans and sweatshirt. Quite surprisingly, no mall-goers dared to do a paparazzi act so there were no photos of the duchess while making the mall rounds.

Even if the duchess avoided attracting attention by dressing and moving around like everyone else, people noticed and she was said to have obliged a little chat or two with those who recognized her.

A certain Leah Byrne tweeted that she was chuffed to bits to have met Kate Middleton, whom she complimented as being lovely.

So what did Kate bring home from her Sunday shopping? A Lacoste pajama for son Prince George, which sold on discount at the said store, and some bathmats for their lovely home.
