Prince George’s artistic skills have captivated royal fans after the Princess of Wales shared a remarkable portrait drawn by her eldest son on social media. The 11-year-old made a stunning line-drawn sketch of his mother, sitting in an armchair, showcasing his talent and deep artistic sensitivity.
The drawing was shared on the official Prince and Princess of Wales’s X account as part of Kate Middleton’s ongoing early years campaign, which emphasises the role of art in shaping a child’s development.
Accompanying the post was a message highlighting the importance of creativity in early childhood, “The Early Childhood Shaping Us Framework describes the social and emotional skills which start to develop in early childhood. These skills are key throughout our lives, shaping who we are, how we manage our thoughts and emotions, how we communicate with and relate to others, and how we explore the world around us. Drawing portraits with children can provide a moment of connection as you spend time looking at and focusing on one another, as well as being creative and – most importantly – having lots of fun together!”
Alongside Prince George’s portrait were drawings by his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, as well as a chalk sketch by their mother, the Princess of Wales. While all the artworks received admiration, it was George’s meticulous and detailed line drawing that sparked the most excitement among royal followers.
Fans took to social media to praise the young royal’s artistic ability. One admirer wrote, “Can we take a moment for 11-year-old Prince George’s drawing of his mum, the Princess of Wales?” while another noted, “It’s wonderful! Impressed! Artistic genes in the family for sure!”
Another fan enthused, “To capture the essence of the subject in a sketch is a special gift. Very honestly inherited.”
Meanwhile, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte’s contributions brought a colourful touch to the showcase, created with crayons, colouring pencils, and felt-tip pens.
One user on X shared their appreciation, writing, “They got it from their mummy!” while another said, “Such a lovely activity!” Others commended the initiative, calling it “a fantastic way to encourage creativity and self-expression.”
The Princess of Wales, who studied History of Art at St Andrews University, has long been a passionate advocate for the arts. Since 2012, she has served as the patron of the National Portrait Gallery. Earlier this month, she attended the launch of The Bobeam Tree Trail at the gallery, an interactive exhibit designed to help children develop social and emotional skills through artistic engagement.
