Kate Middleton surprised shoppers this week at British discount store The Range in King’s Lynn in Norfolk, which is close to the Sandringham Estate where the Cambridges are spending Christmas.

According to fellow shoppers, via The Sun, the duchess was shopping with two of her three children, with one source revealing, "I recognized little Prince George holding Kate’s hand and ­Charlotte with a red bow in her hair. Their protection officers were keeping a discreet distance so they looked like any other family out grabbing last-minute Christmas bargains."

According to Instagram user @middletonmaven, Kate’s tweed jacket is by Dubarry of Ireland. The sporty Dubarry Bracken coat is perfect for the winter season, and retails for around $600.

Previously, sources revealed to BAZAAR.com. that Kate would be spending Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with the royal family at Sandringham, along with Prince William and their three children. Sources also explained that Kate and William would be visiting the Middleton family at their home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, in the days following Christmas.
