Kate Middleton On Shopping Spree Before Wedding (VIDEO, PHOTOS)

"Good Morning America" is hot on the trail of the Royal Wedding. In Wednesday's update, we learned that while Kate Middleton spends the night before the nuptials at London's Goring Hotel, Prince William plans to be holed up in St. James's Palace with his brother and father, who is skipping a dinner with foreign royals to kick it with his boys.

GMA adds that William, who will wait for the ceremony's start in an ancient chapel with no view nor television sets, will seemingly be the last one to see Kate's wedding dress -- we'll have a full nine minutes to catch a glimpse of it from the time Kate leaves the Goring to her arrival at Westminster Abbey.

So, what has Kate been up to lately? Shopping like there's no tomorrow, apparently. She dropped $400 on three summer dresses and a blouse at Warehouse (see below for links) and browsed the racks at Banana Republic on Tuesday, the Telegraph reports. On Wednesday, she was out and about again, reportedly buying the same blouse she wore for her engagement photos from British boutique Whistles.

• Bandeau poppy dress, available here
• One-shoulder feather print dress, available here
• Lace trim square cut blouse, available here (possibly sold out)

These choices auger for a tropical honeymoon. Perhaps The Virgin Islands or The Seychelles?

Those dresses are definitely different from what she usually wears for more public events. Maybe they're for her honeymoon?

The third dress is adorable. I would definitely be caught wearing something like that. The other two? Eh... Not so much. I wouldn't even be caught dead in a Banana Republic. Something about that place and its fashions rubs me the wrong way.

Much of fashion is notorious for harm to the environment and the people who make it.

How wonderful it would be if someone who has the world's attention selected sustainably made fashion and avoided items made in third-world sweatshops. Banana Republic, indeed.

We were fascinated by Diana in particular because she was so young and naive when she wed Charles. Diana was a tireless humanitarian in her later years and a devoted mother. She was never afraid or hesitant about her time when it came to charities and the world is a lesser place without her.

Prince Charles is going to "kick it" with his sons? I'm astonished I am, I really am.

Gee, she has lost soooooo much weight, but then many brides to be lose weight.

This woman can't even go shopping for three dresses without it being a story .....I'd be
second-guessing the HRH spectacle right now.

The press will be after her , just the same way they went after Diana ...

This doesn't sound like much of a shopping spree. More like a mini spree and a restrained one at that. Perhaps for honeymoon attire?

I was thinking the same thing!

Somewhere tropical no doubt, away from the dreary English spring!

Do they have to pay for stuff they use from The Mail or can they just steal it?

I bet she can wear anything with that lithe and trim shape of hers. It's nice to stop thinking about all of the bad things going on in the world for a bit and get some news about this handsome couple.

I agree! It's so nice to read someone NOT being snarky about them. I, for one, like seeing people happy.

Great comment. Too many people make themselves unhappy and are determined to make others so. I'm with you. I like happy people.

Yes, it is. It's all I can to do look at the front page some mornings. Weddings offer a great opportunity to feel hopeful and positive about young people and about the future. And with this one, we may watch a once in a generation display of the pageantry of a storied kingdom.

We used to call that look "cheap and cheerful".
