This is the moment a jovial Prince William joked his wife Kate – the Duchess of Cambridge – looked like a Christmas tree in her moss green ensemble.
The royal couple were visiting an RAF base in Cyprus earlier this month.

Kate and William appeared in fine spirits as they talked eagerly with members of military personal at RAF Akrotiri.
After appearing to make a comment about the exquisitely decorated tree, William and Kate turned to pose for photographers in front of it.
“Could we see a bit more of the tree?” one person – who was presumably a photographer – asked the Prince.

“A bit more of the tree?” William quizzed. “Do you want me to move out of the photo?” he continued with fake seriousness as his wife erupted into giggles beside him.
Stepping back into the picture frame, William continued.

“My wife’s camouflaged against the tree,” he joked, appearing to make reference to Kate’s very Christmassy moss green jacket by Canadian brand Smythe.
Fortunately the Duchess took her husband’s comment in good humour – laughing along with him as the photographers continued taking pictures.
