The royal Duchess of Cambridge, aka Kate Middleton, just spent a stealth day out on the town with her eldest kids Prince George and Princess Charlotte, masquerading as regular-ol’ tourists — and hardly anyone noticed. Is this the plot of a Disney Channel Original Movie or what? Or at least a kid-specific revamp of Roman Holiday.
According to The Daily Mail (via Cosmopolitan), the trio’s outing was to the Imperial War Museum, just for funsies. “Kate took [George] and Charlotte there, very much as members of the public,” the Mail reports, noting that most fellow museum-goers didn’t recognize them.

Scobie and Durand add that Prince William was committed to carrying on Diana’s approach and raising his kids to be humble and grounded despite their anything-but-normal circumstances: “Like his mother had wanted for him, William desired relatively normal childhoods for his kids, even if his eldest son was destined to be king,” they write in Finding Freedom.<
So while it’s really no surprise that Kate is on board with this tactic, we’ll admit we’re a bit surprised at just how skillfully and easily she pulled off this particular mini-Roman Holiday (War Museum holiday doesn’t quite sound as delightful) with the kids. Here’s to many more stealth outings in the future; we’ll certainly be keeping our eyes peeled.
Keep your own kids safe and respectful while out on the town with these kids face masks.
