The Prince and Princess of Wales's children are taking after their mother with their artistic talents.

Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, got involved with Kate's early years initiative during the February half-term break.

The youngsters sat down together with the Princess to draw portraits of one another, with Prince Louis choosing to draw his in red and orange felt-tip pen.

Princess Charlotte's bright creation was sketched in pencil, with shades of green, purple, yellow and blue.

As part of the initiative, the Princess of Wales and The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood are encouraging families to get creative together, including arts and crafts.

One suggestion is for parents or carers and their children to sit down together and create portraits of one another, through drawing, painting or modelling, as a way of connecting and having fun together.

The caption read: "The @earlychildhoodShaping 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 Prince and Princess of Wales are reportedly holidaying with their children on the Caribbean island of Mustique, according to the Mail on Sunday.

It comes after William and Kate missed this year's BAFTA ceremony in London, with Kensington Palace announcing their absence in advance.

But William did appear in a pre-recorded segment during the ceremony, filmed during his visit to the London Screen Academy last week.

The royal introduced two past winners of the EE Rising Star Award to the stage, James McAvoy and Letitia Wright, who in turn bestowed the award upon this year's honorees.
