Future Queen shops at Waitrose, Menai Bridge, N Wales

[Corsair7]

Is this really a good idea?

If anyones looking a for an 'easy target' surely this is it?

I'm all for them pretending to be 'normal peole with normal lives' but really, this kind of exposure, is it wise?

Just think of the weeks and weeks worth of media coverage if something bad happened, if nothing else....

Its tricky but she has bodyguards with her.

Is it a good idea that she goes shopping? Yes. They want to live as normal a life as possible.

It is a good idea that the National Press advertise it? No.

[Cupramax]

Is it even news worthy "person goes shopping" royal or not.

How would she know how much a pint of milk is if she doesn't go to the shops?

[Fittster]

Want to live normal life = abdicate.

What they want is not to be hassled put get all the perks of the job (e.g. Cornwall in a couple of years).

Luckily that's reported in the Sun and the the Wail.....they'd have 'peoples princess' all over that story!

[pimpin gimp]

The headline on the daily mail site is "waitrose-y Katie" anyone know why that would suitable? Is rosie Katie a well known saying or something?

Same with Monaco, no?

[Puggit]

As an Ocado shareholder, I'd like to see her using the service - but apparently they don't cover Anglesey yet!

She has also been seen many times in the Waitrose in Thatcham, RangeRover/bodyguards etc.

I believe some of the bhier ends of the Press referred to her as "Waity Kate" when her relationship with Wills had been going on a long time with no sign of a proposal.

I'm ashamed to know that

[pimpin gimp]

I see, pretty tenuous then!

No offence intended, but the Dutcth royal family hardly have the same profile as ours. Do you think if one of the Dutch royals got married most of the worlds media would turn up?

[RemainAllHoof]

I think it's endearing especially chatting to a trolley attendant - might teach a lesson to the stuck up types who think people in such jobs are lesser humans - but despite the 3 bodyguards, that may not be enough in today's style of terrorism. Not sure a wall of burly men is enough to stop a home-made bomb belt causing carnage.

As an aside, I probably wouldn't recognise her but would wonder why there are three 15 feet tall black-suited guys walking very close to her.

Go on then Dr Doom...what perks? Their current life is the same as it was before the wedding, i.e. live around Valley. You obviously aint spent much time up in north Wales.
When not on RAF duty, its Official Business duty.
Everywhere you go, you are surrounded by the heavies, even to the shops.
You cant actually splash out the cash to buy the fun things the rest of us like to spend our money on when we have made a bit.

So, just exactly what are these perks that we are always told about because I actually havent seen a single one yet.

[poo at Paul's]

She's looking pretty drawn in those photos though.



But surely PH must approve, it is Waitrose after all!

Well I'm sure they don't share the thrill of responding to my every post as you seem to fill your life doing but personally I think putting up with a few snaps shots in the Daily Mail is outweighed by Duchy of Cornwall which Wills will pick up. That's worth £17.1 million a year.

If the happy couple want a normal life (and no chance of £17 million quid a year) he can renounce his claim to the thrown.
