On Monday, April 20, Prince William's wife made her final outing, shopping at Zara Home on Kensington High Street. 

"She was in a great mood," an onlooker told Us Weekly. "She was very happy and polite, as she always is. She didn't look too pregnant at all. She was wearing wedges and jeans."

Middleton purchased placemats, hand towels, coasters, salad servers, and blue and white children's hangers.
