PRINCESS ROYAL STEPS OUT FOR FESTIVAL OF TREES
3 DECEMBER 2003
Princess Anne has been getting into the festive spirit by joining other VIPs at the Festival Of Trees event in London. The annual fundraiser, staged in the capital's Natural History Museum, aims to raise money for the Save The Children Fund, of which the Princess is president.
The exhibition centres around specially designed "Christmas trees" donated by such luminaries as Tiffany, Julien Macdonald and celebrity hairdresser Trevor Sorbie. Affluent Christmas shoppers are invited to bid for the unique "trees" in an effort to raise money.
And this year's collection includes contributions from the Jim Henson Company, which brought us The Muppets, and menswear specialists Thomas Pink, along with the other big names. The trees, which come adorned with gifts of luxury items, make for a luxurious Christmas surprise.
Since the Festival Of Trees began in 1989, it has raised over £2.5 million for the charity Save The Children. Last year's event brought in over £160,000, and organisers are hoping to top that figure this time around.
