Girl's gotta eat!

Wearing a thick turtleneck, Duchess Kate stocked up on essentials at the grocery store Tuesday. Prince William's wife bought bananas, chicken, milk, potatoes, oranges, cereal, Haagen-Dazs ice cream, lettuce.

But don't jump to the conclusion that Kate's eating for two. Earlier this month, the 29-year-old sparked pregnancy rumors when she refused peanut paste during her and  William's visit to a Denmark UNICEF distribution center. (Although Kate is not allergic to peanuts, pregnant women are often advised to avoid peanut products to prevent allergies in their babies-to-be.)

But a royal insider explained to Us Weekly that Kate simply isn't "comfortable eating in front of cameras… What if she didn't like it and made a face? That expression would then be on every newspaper."

A spokesman for the couple told Us the policy is "to never confirm or deny [pregnancy] rumors," but an insider insists: "If and when there is an announcement to make, it will be made by the palace as soon as it's safe to."

    I just came from Europe.... and it is COLD!

    It's Wales in November. Of course she's wearing a sweater. It's also common knowledge that they don't keep a large staff to "do things" for them. If anyone wanted to over-analyze it, they could see HRH shops sensibly. What's the big deal?

    Could it be the woman is just cold? Hello, they do live in Europe.

    To be fair it has been quite cold over here. Love how she's buying Tesco Value potatoes though. Seems they may be saving their pennies for the refurb on their new digs after all ;)

    That sweater is gorgeous. I can't stand turtlenecks, but it's lovely on her. And for the fact that his supposedly news, well, guess it's a slow day at Us.

    Celine Jos the "extra interest in Kate" is because she is living the fairytale of a commoner becoming a princess. Maybe you missed the script, but there is always massive interest in a fairytale story. The "very public wedding" was not her choice.

    i must say i am shocked ... i honestly thought they had someone to do this for them

    @Celine Jos, careful that jealousy will eat you alive.

    US--her name is no longer Kate Middleton, and since the weather is getting colder in many parts of the world this time of year, wearing a sweater isn't so unusual?

  • November 23, 2011 - 4:48pm Nancy Massi

    US-- her name is NO longer Kate Middleton, and as the weather is getting colder, perhaps it isn't a shock people are wearing sweaters?

  • November 23, 2011 - 11:06am Sandra Lahr Lindsay

    maybe it's cold outside. lot's of people wear sweaters as it's that time of year.

  • November 23, 2011 - 10:53am Jane Adams

    I really like this turtleneck jumper, its getting cold out there

  • November 23, 2011 - 9:55am Nicole Porter Runge

    Her name is not Kate Middleton anymore--it ceased to be that on April 29, 2011. So tired of seeing US Weekly headlines with that in there!

    the royal family is always in the public eye, that is a fact. everyone wants to know the lastest news about them and the magazines are more than ready to actually write artilces about them whether they are true or not. If you don't llike them no one is forcing you to read about them.

    Many people facing rising food costs are considering coupons as a way to save money on their grocery bills including myself who uses smart source or Printapons websites to get daily alerts.

    @Celine Jos - sorry, but given his position, NOT having a "very public" wedding was not an option. You're not talking about some minor American celebrity selling themselves to the tabloids here. And that's also NOT what caused the "extra interest" in Kate. She's the next Queen, married to the Heir Apparent, who happens to be the son of one of the most loved Royals in history.

  • November 22, 2011 - 10:27pm Julia Cham

    oh no, Turtleneck! maybe it's cold end of November? And maybe, just maybe, peanuts are not a big issue outside of the hypochondric US?

  • November 22, 2011 - 10:06pm Klaudia Splane

    Oh nooooo, Kate in a heavy turtleneck grocery shopping. What's this world coming to?! What's tomorrow's headline, "Kate Gosselin gets a real job?" Heavy duty in depth reporting Us!
