Despite her fast approaching due date, the pregnant Kate Middleton managed to do some quick shopping for Prince George and her upcoming baby.

Over the weekend, the brunette beauty went to Zara where she reportedly liked a pair of soft-soled suede boots which were part of the store's collection for newborns.

According to People, Prince William's better half liked the boots which were priced at $26.92. However, since the boots were neutral-toned, the gender of the baby is still a guessing game.

As for Prince George, it is believed that the Duchess of Cambridge purchased a pair of Start-Rite Flexy-Soft Milan navy blue leather sneakers.

Apart from shopping, the pregnant Kate Middleton will still accompany her husband in several royal engagements.

The Palace has officially confirmed that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge would have 3 engagements on March 27. These events will center on South London's young people.

The royal couple will go to Sydenham and Gypsy Hill to see how the charity XLP functions. The charity is in charge of helping communities and schools in the said area.

The pair will also go to Deptford wherein they will visit the Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust's centre. Lawrence died in 1993 at the age of 18 after being stabbed. His death was a wake-up call on racial inequality.

Previously, the mother-of-one confirmed that she will give birth next month.

It is believed that the couple placed an advertorial for a new helper as part of preparation for the new baby.

As per the Mirror, the ad reads: "Housekeeper sought for a large family home in Norfolk. We are looking for someone with previous housekeeping experience, ideally within a large private house, and preferably within a family environment with dogs."

While the ad did not indicate names, it can be remembered that Kate Middleton and Prince William temporarily moved to a country house in Norfolk or more known as Anmer Hall. The family also has a spaniel named Lupo.

The ad likewise mentioned that the housekeeper's responsible for cleaning all areas of the house to a high standard; caring for and maintaining the home owners' clothing; cleaning silverware and glassware; purchasing groceries and general provisions for the house; and dealing with deliveries."

Kate Middleton and Prince William are already assisted by Prince George's nanny Maria Teresa Turrion Borralo.
