This was a VERY cute and festive outing indeed. Allow us to turn to Informative, uh, Twitter to set the scene:
Her Majesty The Queen has passed the patronage to The Duchess having held the role for over 65 years. Her Majesty took the patronage over from Queen Mary in 1953.

We’ve also got video from the scene:

This is great:
Kate would make a great Christmas tree seller. As she entertained kids helped by charity @family_action owner of Peterley Manor Farm Roger Brill joked “I will have to give her a job at the weekend” #duchessofcambridge #princesskate. https://t.co/4DoTavLAIJ pic.twitter.com/6QP1u0wYot

And what is Kate wearing? I feel like she came VERY close to leaving the house wearing a Santa hat, to be quite honest. We’ve got her old stalwart skinny jeans, this very reasonable sweater, her puffer that she’s had for ages (including that time she and Wills and Harry raced each other), and a pair of very sensible hiking boots that I haven’t seen a credit for — they are not her Chloe ones. Anyway, the whole thing is festive and appropriate for hauling trees around for kids. Let the holiday spirit move you!
