Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte and Prince George draw each other in adorable portraits
Kensington Palace have shared the adorable images on their social media pages.
Princess Kate and her three children revealed their artistic skills in an adorable set of portraits shared online.
Kensington Palace shared the four hand-drawn images, drawn by Kate, 43, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, on Monday afternoon to promote Kate’s new early childhood framework.
The sweet images are part of a larger conversation about how portraiture can help children frame and develop emotions, as well as provide a meaningful, fun activity for youngsters and caregivers to get involved in.
Aides have not revealed who drew which portrait, though due to the complexity of the drawing, it appears that the Princess of Wales was behind the sketch of her youngest son, Louis.
Kate has a strong interest in the arts, having studied History of Art at the University of St Andrew’s. She is also a keen amateur photographer, often snapping family portraits that are released to mark birthdays and anniversaries.
The remaining three portraits, presumably drawn by the three youngsters, appear to all be of Kate.
The post sharing the portraits read: “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!”
The Shaping Us project, published through Kate’s Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood last month, provides a framework for teaching 30 skills during a child’s development, from pregnancy to the age of five.
The skills are grouped into clusters, including managing emotions, focusing thoughts and communicating with others.
In the foreword of the publication, Kate wrote: “The Shaping Us Framework is designed to provide an accessible way of focusing on social and emotional skills.
“It can be used by organisations of all shapes and sizes to design and deliver interventions that raise awareness across society, and to support the development of these critically important skills for people at all stages of life.
“Most importantly, it shows that we can all play a vital part in building a more loving, empathetic, and compassionate society, and a world with humanity reconnected.”
Kate, who has called the early years project her life’s work, launched the Shaping Us initiative in 2023.
