Kate Middletonbrought a little humor to a tree-planting ceremony she took part in alongside her husbandPrince William.
During the couple’s trip to Wales last week, they planted a tree in the town of Blaenavon in honor of theQueen’s Green Canopyinitiative.
“I think you have done this before, Sir,” Geraint Richards, Head Forester of the Duchy of Cornwall, told the prince, who has taken part in several tree-planting ceremonies over the years.
“Once or twice, Geraint,” William wryly added as he began shoveling the dirt.
Encouraging him along, Kate playfully teased her husband.
“William, you’ve missed a bit!” she said with a smile as she pointed to the ground.
