King Charles was left equally impressed as the public when he was first shown the artistic skills of his eldest grandchild, Prince George.
Before Prince William unveiled the 13-year-old’s impressive drawing skills in the latest edition of Country Life magazine – which the Prince of Wales had guest-edited – Charles was bragging about those skills to his international dignitaries and guests.
It comes as no surprise that George, who is now studying at Eton college, has a knack for art as his own grandfather, the King, is an impressive watercolourist himself.

According a source cited by Woman’s Day, the King was overheard telling the Sultan of Oman during the State Visit, that his grandson is “very good” at art.
“George and Charles have sat around sketching for many, many hours over the years,” the source shared. “It’s something they bonded over when he was just a toddler and brings His Majesty an enormous amount of pleasure.”
It was revealed that during spring, before George started his Eton journey, the 13-year-old drew a ruffled kingfisher perched on a branch. William chose to include the art piece for the publication.
Similarly, Charles has also auctioned off many of paintings that earned him millions for his charitable fund. The King is now is glad to see that the artist genes have followed through in his bloodline.
He is also more than willing to help George in his artistic journey even if he is to be the future king.

“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.
Meanwhile, George “takes it all on board” and is very grateful to share something special in common with his grandfather.
