Kate Middleton‘s ideal Christmas tree is one that smells nice — and doesn’t cause a mess!
The royal mom stepped out on Wednesday at the Peterley Manor Farm tohelp young children pick out Christmas treesfor their classrooms. During the outing, Kate shared what kind of fir thatPrince George, 6,Princess Charlotte, 4, andPrince Louis, 1, find their presents under on Christmas morning.
“She was asking about the trees which drop their needles and those that don’t, and which ones smell nice!” farm owner Roger Brill said. “She said that they normally have the Nordmann Fir inside that doesn’t drop the needles.”
“She was fantastic with the youngsters. She was in there moving them around and holding them up,” said Brill. “I will have to give her a job at the weekend, I think. She was a very good saleswoman!”
