Is Kate officially in nesting mode?

If her recent trip to the Design Centre in Chelsea Harbour is any indication, the answer is yes.

The seven-months-pregnant Duchess of Cambridge, 31, was spotted shopping at the ultra-posh interior design center on Tuesday, where she checked out at least one fabric swatch, and took time to refuel at the public café, right alongside other shoppers.

"She just sat in the atrium like everyone else," an onlooker tells PEOPLE. "She was very polite and really nice – just totally normal. I didn't know it was her at first. I just thought, 'You look a lot like Kate Middleton.' Then it kind of dawned on me."

"She had a cappuccino and a banana muffin," adds the source. "It's not every day you see the future Queen of England sitting down in a café eating a muffin!"

What do you cook for a prince?

Manhattan-based chef April Bloomfield was faced with that task on Tuesday when Prince Harry, who is in the middle of a week-long visit to the United States, attended the Innovation Is Great event at MILK Studios in NYC's Meatpacking District. And she opted to make the royal heartthrob feel right at home.

"The event was to celebrate innovation in British technology, so I decided to do a British-style menu," said Bloomfield whose restaurants include The Spotted Pig, The Breslin Bar & Dining Room and The John Dory Oyster Bar. "For example, [I served] pea pudding, because peas are as English as the Queen."

A Brit herself, Bloomfield crafted a culturally creative menu of hors d'oeuvre to reflect her native country and her restaurants' signature dishes. Prince Harry, who attended the event (which supported The GREAT campaign, promoting U.K. tourism, education, business and the strength of U.S. and U.K. relations) with British Prime Minister David Cameron dined on beef and stilton pie; cheddar and piccalilli tea sandwiches; Scotch quail eggs; and sipped on The Spotted Pig's famous Pimm's cup.

Over the weekend, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher and Princess Beatrice proved that Hollywood and royalty can be a perfect mix.

The foursome visited the Calloh Callay bar in the trendy Shoreditch neighborhood, where a source told PEOPLE, "They sat in our upstairs Mexican bar on barstools. They drank Jose Cuervo shots and cocktails."

The source adds, "[They] were lovely customers, friendly and not at all demanding."

Prince Harry Brightens the Day of Wounded American Soldiers

Continuing his active Friday in Washington, D.C., that first took him to Arlington National Cemetery, where he paid respects to the fallen, Prince Harry switched into his khakis to visit wounded soldiers and recovering servicemen at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

Impressed by the technology at the facility – "We've got nothing like this back in the U.K.," he said – the prince watched as a 24-year-old army specialist, Alabama-born Corey Garmon, who lost both legs in Afghanistan, walk on a virtual simulator.

"You must have been on this thing for hours," Harry, 28, told Corey, who responded, "It's a good workout."

"How many times have you been on this?" Harry then asked, only to be surprised when the soldier revealed it was his very first day.
