The royal family has a number of interesting Christmas traditions, from opening their gifts early to a strict ban on this divisive board game. But there's one brilliant festive hack that Princess Kate shared several years ago, and it's going viral once again.
Back in 2019, during a festive trip to Peterley Manor Farm in the Chiltern Hills, Buckinghamshire, the Princess of Wales helped children to make reindeer food, craft festive decorations and pick out Christmas trees. At the time, Kate was marking her newly appointed patronage for the charity Family Action - but it was her very specific Christmas tree rule that piqued the interest of royal fans. Following the royal engagement, the owner of the farm, Roger Brill, told press that the Princess had shared her secret to picking the perfect tree. He told reporters: "She said they now have a Nordmann Fir which doesn’t drop needles."
