According to people.com Kate, 33, snapped up a basket full of nick-nacks during her low-key 45-minute visit, as well as some items for Prince George - and possibly the new baby too.

Dressed in a white and green patterned top, jeans and a pair of high-heeled wedges - despite being in the latter stages of her pregnancy - she bought some salad servers, a plain door mat and nautical blue bath towels.

In the childrens’ department, Kate bought Prince George a few gifts, including a set of padded blue and white gingham hangers, some picnic cutlery and tumblers with polka dots.

She also browsed some white baskets that could have been for the new nursery.

Apparently they are one of the stores best sellers.

Fellow shoppers apparently looked on in astonishment as she queued and paid for her purchases before heading back off down the High Street.

On Wednesday her husband, Prince William, was spotted in Chelsea department store Peter Jones, where he snapped up £800 of men’s clothing including trendy jeans and jumpers – clearly keen to take his mind off the wait too.
