- A shopper in Norfolk, UK, took photos of a woman she claims is Kate Middleton grocery shopping in Waitrose.
- She anonymously sent the photos to the Daily Mail.
- Though some people are mesmerized by the photos, others doubt that it's actually Middleton.
Spotting celebrities in the grocery store is a phenomenon the internet can't get enough of. An untouchable superstar like Beyoncé perusing the aisles of Target is a strange sight to behold, and seeing a member of the royal family picking up groceries is even stranger.
A woman in Norfolk, UK, was shopping in her local Waitrose grocery store on Monday when she claims she spotted Kate Middleton roaming the aisles. She somehow held her phone steady enough to snap a few photos and send them anonymously to the Daily Mail.
The photos, shared by the Daily Mail's Twitter account, have quickly circulated around the internet.

While some people are mesmerized by the sight of the Duchess of Cambridge shopping amongst commoners just days away from her estimated due date, others aren't immediately convinced that the woman in the photo is actually Middleton.

The woman in the photo looks NOTHING like Kate Middleton and it not unusual for a pregnant woman to go grocery shopping 😡

The woman who took the photos told the Daily Mail that even her husband wasn't quite convinced.
"I just went round the corner of the aisle — and I saw her," she told the publication. "I said to my husband 'that looks like Kate Middleton.' He said 'it's not,' and I said 'it is.'"
The shopper also admitted that she worked up the courage to say something to her. "I did actually say 'hello' to her as I walked past. She turned and said 'Hi, hello,'" she said.
Though there are several doubters, there's also substantial evidence that the woman in the photos actually is the Duchess.
She's been spotted in the same pink Joseph coat before, and Kate's Closet reports that she had it modified to accommodate her baby bump back in March 2013. Her hair also seems to be the same length and style it was when she was spotted for Easter service on Sunday.
Head over to the Daily Mail to see the rest of the photos and decide for yourself.
