King Charles reportedly spent years drawing with Prince George and encouraging his artistic skills
Country Life featured George’s kingfisher drawing in its November 11 issue, guest-edited by Prince William. The magazine also shared the artwork on Instagram, writing:
“This beautiful picture of a kingfisher was drawn by George, aged 12 at the time, and offers a glimpse into the young royal’s artistic talents and growing curiosity about the natural world. But there’s more to this colourful little bird than meets the eye — from Ancient mythology and royal symbolism to its extraordinary place in art and history.”
According to Now To Love, King Charles has reportedly encouraged his grandson’s artistic interests for years. A source told Woman’s Day, “George and Charles have sat around sketching for many, many hours over the years. It’s something they bonded over when he was just a toddler and brings His Majesty an enormous amount of pleasure.”
The King is an accomplished watercolour artist and reportedly enjoys sharing his artistic knowledge with George. An insider explained, “He’s always keen to see George’s latest sketches and creations, show off some of his own of course, plus he likes to offer various artistic tips to George about ways he can improve, even if it’s just little tweaks here and there.”
The source said George “takes it all on board” and appreciates sharing an interest with his grandfather. Princess Kate also has an artistic background, having studied art history at the University of St Andrews. Another source described George as a “chip off the old block” when it comes to drawing.
“Kate is so proud, she’ll sometimes say that they have a budding little Picasso on their hands and at the way things are going it’s not all that far from the truth!” another source told Woman’s Day.
