Kate Middleton Shows Off Her Kids’ Terrible Drawings

NO ROYAL PICASSO

Any parent who has ever felt inadequate when comparing themselves to Kate Middleton (those socks, that hair) can take comfort, perhaps, in the fact that her kids’ art projects are refreshingly unimpressive. Kate and William posted three examples of their children’s recent scribblings on their official Instagram account to publicize Kate’s ongoing advocacy for early childhood care, along with one of Kate’s pictures, a pencil sketch of her eldest son. In a message accompanying the post they wrote: “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 post specified the pictures were by “Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, Prince George and The Princess of Wales.” The kids could get some pointers from their grandfather, as King Charles is an enthusiastic landscape watercolorist whose works sell for around £20,000 ($23,000).
