Duchess of Cambridge Spotted Shopping, Palace Denies Baby Reports
Kate Middleton was spotted over the weekend at Bicester Village. The Duchess of Cambridge enjoyed a bit of retail therapy as she browsed at several stores in the designer outlet complex in Oxfordshire, England.
Fellow shoppers were pleased to see the Duchess, who graciously smiled and chatted with a few of them, and some even took to social media to announce their encounter with the young royal, according to the HRHduchesskate blog.
"Chuffed to bits I met Kate Middleton today, had a little chat and she was lovely!" Twitter user Leah Byrne wrote.

Laura Isabella tweeted, "Still quite over excited about exchanging smiles with Kate Middleton this morning."
The Duchess reportedly shopped at Ralph Lauren, and was also spotted browsing through clothes at Reiss before picking up a pair of pajamas for Prince George.
As the Duchess continues to take on more royal duties while trying for some semblance of a normal life, pregnancy rumors that have been sparking last month appeared to have died down as the royal palace immediately shut down rumors that she and Prince William were expecting another child.
It was reported that Jessica Hay, a former friend of the Duchess, allegedly broke the pregnancy news, and the media was quick to pick up on it after it was rumored that Hay was also the one who shared the news of the Duchess' pregnancy with Prince George.
However, the royal palace stated that the Duchess and Hay do not actually speak anymore, and that there would be no way for the erstwhile school friend to be in-the-know, as the Duchess of Cambridge would only share the news with those who are close to her and those whom she implicitly trusts.
Though the Duchess has admitted in the past that she would like another baby, for the moment it seems like only time, and the Duchess herself will tell when she is indeed expecting a second child.
