Royal Halloween Shenanigans: A Family Tradition
What do you get when you mix royal duties with Halloween festivities? Well, if you’re the Prince and Princess of Wales, a delightful concoction of sweet treats, fancy costumes, and a splash of cheeky mischief. Yes, folks, it seems that Kate and William do more than just run the monarchy—they also run a fine Halloween show for their kids!
Now let’s dive into this iconic royal tradition—because, if there’s one thing we love as much as a good pumpkin spice latte, it’s the sight of Kate Middleton in a Halloween costume aisle. In fact, back in 2019, our beloved Duchess was spotted shopping for costumes at a Sainsbury’s in King’s Lynn. Imagine the reaction of shoppers as they spotted a real-life princess picking up a ghost costume! “Excuse me, is that a broomstick or are you just happy to see Prince George dressed as Harry Potter?”
It’s all fun and games until Kate’s bodyguard starts playing paparazzi police! One customer recounted how he was creating a veritable no-photo zone around the royal family, which has all the charm of a hip bouncer at an exclusive nightclub. I mean, come on! If you see a royal in a supermarket, your phone is naturally going to come out. The bodyguard might have strolled around like he owned the place, but let’s face it… he’s just here for the sweets!
And speaking of sweets, we’ve got the infamous doorbell incident of 2022. Picture it: Kate on CCTV like she’s starring in a royal remake of “Home Alone.” There she was, ringing the neighbor’s doorbell while her little ones were sweetly begging for treats. Kate armed with a bag believed to be full of candies, took the whole “Trick or Treat” concept to an entirely new level. “Hello, neighbor! No, I’m not here to discuss politics—just give me your best confectionary, please!”
As for this Halloween, plans are still under wraps—no pun intended. Will they celebrate with the kids? Or will it be a cozy gathering with Kate’s parents? Sources say that thanks to a video Kate shared in September, it’s clear they enjoy some quality family time. Who wouldn’t want to celebrate Halloween with the grandparent duo, Carole and Michael Middleton? It could be the ultimate spooky soirée, minus the need for pumpkin clove candles—because who needs scents when you’ve got a real-life royal family spinning around the living room?
The Royal Way of Halloween
So let’s raise a glass—filled with pumpkin-flavored whatever—to the Prince and Princess of Wales, truly embracing the lighter, sweeter moments of life amidst their royal responsibilities. Because at the end of the day, isn’t Halloween about more than just candy? It’s about making memories, capturing the joy of childhood, and reminding us all—even in our busy lives—that laughter and a dash of silliness is what keeps the spirits alive. Or to put it in royal terms: “Keep calm and pumpkin on!”
As we watch with glee, let’s all take a note from the principality of Halloween—that it’s perfectly acceptable to don a costume, ring a doorbell, and indulge in a bit of trickery (and treating). After all, if the royals can do it, so can we!
The Prince and Princess of Wales have a tradition of celebrating Halloween with the whole family.

In 2019, Kate was also spotted shopping for Halloween costumes for her children at the Sainsbury’s branch in King’s Lynn.
One of the customers told Mirror: “She was with Charlotte and George looking at Halloween outfits and her bodyguard was following people with phones and telling them not to take pictures. I didn’t see what exactly she bought. Kate was asking her children what they were going to be for Halloween “.

**Interview with Dr. Eleanor Voss, Historian and Paranormal Expert**
*Host:* Welcome, Dr. Voss! Thank you for joining us today. You recently made headlines by claiming that a house belonging to Prince William and Kate Middleton is haunted. Can you share more about your findings?
*Dr. Voss:* Thank you for having me! Yes, my research into royal estates has led me to some fascinating discoveries. The property in question, which has a rich history, shows unusual occurrences that align with classic hauntings. Some locals have reported strange noises and unexplained sightings.
*Host:* That’s intriguing! How did you come to focus on this particular royal residence?
*Dr. Voss:* Well, with the royal family often under public scrutiny, I felt there was a unique angle to explore their living spaces. I found that many historical homes, especially those with a rich lineage like theirs, have paranormal lore attached to them. It’s a blend of history and folklore that offers a compelling narrative.
*Host:* Have the royal family themselves commented on these claims?
*Dr. Voss:* Not publicly, and it’s understandable—royals tend to maintain a certain decorum. However, there’s a playful spirit around Halloween in their household, which makes the idea of a haunting all the more interesting. Imagine the juxtaposition of a royal Halloween celebration with ghostly tales!
*Host:* Speaking of Halloween, in your opinion, how do you think Prince William and Kate could incorporate their supposed haunted surroundings into their celebrations?
*Dr. Voss:* I think it could be a fantastic opportunity! They could host a spooky-themed party for their children that both embraces the history of their home and the playful spirit of Halloween. It could educate the kids about their home’s background while having fun with costumes and ghost stories.
*Host:* That’s a novel idea! Do you see a connection between the royal family’s traditional events and the narratives of hauntings in their homes?
*Dr. Voss:* Absolutely! Royal families have long histories that often intertwine with tragedy and profound events. These stories become woven into the fabric of their residences, creating an enduring legacy of tales to tell. Embracing that through family traditions can forge bonds through storytelling.
*Host:* Fascinating insights, Dr. Voss! if the royal family were to acknowledge the haunting during their Halloween celebration, what kind of theme do you think would be fitting?
*Dr. Voss:* Perhaps a “‘Royal Hauntings” theme could be ideal! They could incorporate elements of their home’s history, like costumes inspired by notable figures from the past, along with fun, spooky activities for the children. It would be both entertaining and educational—an engaging way to embrace both their heritage and the holiday spirit!
*Host:* Thank you, Dr. Voss! Your perspective on the intersection of royalty, history, and the paranormal is truly captivating. We look forward to seeing what Halloween looks like for the royals this year!
