WhenKate Middletonasked a group of children to help her choose a Christmas tree, the response was unanimous – and not quite what she had expected!
The royal momstepped out for some holiday funat Peterley Manor Farm in Buckinghamshire on Wednesday, where she helped kindergarten children decorate Christmas trees. Holding the kids’ hands as she led them into the “forest,” Kate could be seen heaving one rather large tree up from the ground.
“Does anyone like this one?” she shouted to the group of children.

After finally choosing a suitably sized tree, the group decorated it together before making hot chocolate.

Farm owner Roger Brill enthused that Kate was brilliant with both the children and the trees. “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!”
