Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, Goes to Wedding, Does Some Shopping. Just Like Us.

I'm not sure if we want our fairytale princesses to be just like us. It's all a bit confusing. On the one hand Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, is in fact just like us. She was born nice and middle class to hard working people. She had a good schooling and landed up mixing in quite posh circles where she met and fell in love with a prince who married her and made her world famous. We think maybe that could have been me. But she isn't like us anymore. Or is she?
She went to her mate's wedding on the weekend and hung out with her husband, her sister and her sister's boyfriend. Sound familiar? Of course we don't wear Collette Dinnigan red lace dresses to our friend's weddings, but we definitely go and spend a few hours at the hairdresser. Like Kate did.

And then yesterday she popped out to her local TopShop on High Street Ken - literally just down the road from her flat at Kensington Palace. Apparently she bought a polka dot pencil skirt (very nice), a jacket (hmmm, a bit fusty, will be interesting to see what she wears it with) and some £8.00 earrings. Her wallet was full of loyalty cards for Tesco and the like. And she left another pair of earrings at the till when she changed her mind about them. Too familiar?
Do you think Kate is just like us? Do you like her purchases. Comments below. If you care to.
