They now have the honour of presenting a Christmas tree to stand in Downing Street's Pillared Room, which is used when international agreements are being signed and as the main staging area for receptions.
Richard said: "We're delighted to know one of our own trees will have pride of place inside such a beautiful room at one of the country's most famous residences."
