There's nothing quite like getting your Christmas jumper out of hibernation to induce a healthy dose of festive cheer into your wardrobe.  

The Princess of Wales did just that on Saturday, opting to rewear her Holland Cooper Fairisle knit jumper to make an exciting announcement about her Christmas plans

Looking radiant in the £179 roll-neck jumper, which has been in Princess Kate's wardrobe since last February, the royal was seen dressing a Christmas tree with baubles and fairy lights as she beamed from behind its branches.

"This will be a special moment to thank all those who do so much to support babies, young children and families in our communities across the UK.

"We can’t wait for you to join us too - tune in on @ITV, Christmas Eve," read the post.

The Princess of Wales has a penchant for green, often choosing emerald ensembles for major royal occasions

Looking unmissable in a glittering emerald green gown from Needle & Thread, Princess Kate proved her penchant for effortless dressing as she wowed in the dazzling number. Kate's beautiful gown was inspired by a vintage lace tablecloth and designed with romantic translucent sleeves. 

The bodice and skirt were embellished with shimmering tonal sequins as the high neckline elongated her slender frame. Prince William looked equally dapper as she drove himself and his wife away from the royal residence in a slick black tuxedo.
