Beyoncé is a megastar and commands the stage when she performs, and attracts crowds wherever she goes as a result of her global fame.
This has been the case for years, and so much so, that the mother-of-three crave normalcy, preferring to keep a lot of her personal life out of the spotlight.
Her mom, Tina Knowles, recently gave an incredible insight into her daughter's life, revealing that she is never able to simply go to the mall, and this is something that she misses doing with her firstborn.
During a chat with Glamour magazine, she said: "Solange just won't play the game. She'll just go shopping. But obviously that's not something that we can do with Beyoncé, and that's what I miss. I miss us going to the grocery store, going with my kids to eat at the cafeteria. You don't get to go to the mall anymore."
While Beyoncé is not able to do this with her mom, or children Blue Ivy, 12, and seven-year-old twins Rumi and Sir, without being seen, she is able to make incredible memories with them in other ways.

She told the publication: "Raising three kids isn't easy. The older they get, the more they become their own individuals with unique needs, hobbies, and social lives. My twins are God-sent. Parenting constantly teaches you about yourself. It takes a lot of prayer and patience. I love it. It's grounding and fulfilling"

"My kids come with me everywhere I go. They come to my office after school, and they are in the studio with me. They are in dance rehearsals. It's natural that they would learn my choreography," she said.

They also have properties in the Hamptons and New York City, where Jay-Z was born and raised.

Tina spoke about the fun they have out there when talking to Glamour magazine. She said: "I’m headed straight on a plane when I leave here to go spend time with my grandchildren. I become a kid. I was in the Hamptons with them, and I mean, I swung on a swing every day and swam and had fun. It’s like being a kid again.
"And I’m not as stressed out about how they’re going to turn out. I don’t have that responsibility. So I can buy all the noisy toys that get on their parents’ nerves and do things that I didn’t get to do with my kids. It’s the best."
