The Duchess of Cambridge revealed that the majority of her trips outside her home have been to shop for food, as she carried out her first public engagement since lockdown began.
Kate toured Fakenham Garden Centre near her home of Anmer Hall in Norfolk yesterday and, as a keen gardener, wanted to learn how the coronavirus outbreak had affected the family-run independent business.
She told owners Martin and Jennie Turner she loved coming to garden centres with her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
“I’ve been food shopping but haven’t been out a huge amount more, but it’s good and so important, now as things start to ease, people know they can go out and particularly to places like this,” she said.
Kate, 38, respected social distancing guidelines on the visit, and wore Superga khaki trainers, brown jeans and a padded hunting waistcoat.
Meanwhile today the Duke of Cambridge visited King’s Lynn bakery Smiths, a longstanding family-run business, which reopened on Monday.
