The Princess of Wales and her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, have revealed their artistic skills in four portraits of each other. It’s believed to be the first time that a drawing by Catherine of one of her children has been shown in public – with a picture of her six-year-old son, Prince Louis. The royals drew the portraits as “a moment of connection” to “spend time looking at and focusing on one another” while being creative, a social media post from Kensington Palace added. The pictures are a follow-up to Catherine’s recent visit to the National Portrait Gallery, as part of her early years education project, Shaping Us. The princess had joined a class of five-year-olds going around an exhibition encouraging children to portray themselves and to understand their own emotions. The four pictures have been issued without revealing the artist and subject – but the more grown up work would appear to be Catherine’s picture of a sleeping Prince Louis. Catherine studied A-level art at school and then history of art at St Andrews university. Prince Louis has already shown his own creativity, with the recent release of his photograph of his mother wrapped up warm on a cold winter’s day. These latest pictures, like Louis’s photograph, were issued on Prince William and Catherine’s social media account.
