We love it when the royals are pictured doing ordinary things, such as driving themselves to engagements like the Duchess of Edinburgh, or popping into their local supermarket to stock up on groceries.
The King and Queen
King Charles and Camilla visited an Asda distribution centre in Bristol in July 2020, to thank staff who had worked throughout the coronavirus pandemic. They met some of the 700 workers at the branch as well as drivers and those based at nearby stores.
Sarah, Duchess of York
Sarah Ferguson sent her Instagram fans into a frenzy when she shared a snap of herself popping to the shops. Proving that the royals are not above a supermarket sweep of their own, the Duchess of York was seen stocking up on some food essentials at a Waitrose supermarket.
Juggling a number of items, the mother-of-two clutched some cherries, strawberries, apples and biscuits, whilst stopping to study the cheese straw selection in one aisle. Giving fans an insight into her grocery shop, Sarah simply captioned the post with a smiley face emoji.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
When brother-in-law Prince Harry lived in the UK, he was known to pop into his local Waitrose, buying half a dozen eggs at the self-checkout of the Kensington branch in 2016.
He also made a trip to the same Waitrose a few months later in June 2016. According to reports, he was eyeing up the ready meals, before purchasing some Kellogg’s cornflakes and bananas.
Harry’s wife, then girlfriend Meghan Markle, was spotted similarly out grocery shopping in December 2016, when she lived in Toronto, Canada. Shielding attention away in a LA Dodgers baseball cap, the former actress bought kitchen roll, garlic, salad leaves, and various vegetables.
Princess Diana
The late Princess Diana filled her shopping trolley up with plenty of fresh fruit during a visit to a Southport Tesco in 1990. Diana delighted staff and shoppers alike as she arrived at the store to share advice on healthy eating.
