Prince George is a 'chip off the old block' as he shares Charles and Philip's special talent

Prince George has been described as a "chip off the old block" as the young royal shares a special talent with his grandfather King Charles and late great grandfather Prince Philip.

The nine-year-old seems to have inherited a love for art which is a talent that has previously been displayed to royal fans.

It's not just the Windsor side of his family who have an artistic talent as George's mother, the Princess of Wales also shares a passion for art, the Express reports.

Royal expert and former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond has praised the young royal for his creative abilities.

She told OK! : "[Prince] George seems to to be a chip off the old block.

"Prince Philip and King Charles were both incredibly talented, and Kate is very knowledgeable and interested in art... and judging by George's genuinely impressive painting, he is also pretty handy with the paint brush."

Last year the Prince and Princess of Wales shared an impressive painting that their eldest son had done to celebrate Christmas Day.

George, who will turn 10 next month, painted a picture of a reindeer and robins in a snowy setting.

Both the King and his own father, the late Prince Philip have both been notable artists with the monarch being known to appear in picturesque destinations such as the ski alps in Switzerland and the Imperial Palace in Japan with a paintbrush in hand.

Last year, a whopping 79 of the King's paintings were put on display at the Garrison Chapel in Chelsea.

In 2021, PEOPLE reported that the Princess of Wales "used her artistic skills to thank the people of Scotland that she and Prince William met during their royal tour of the country this week."

The publication wrote: "Kate, who has a degree in art history from the University of St. Andrews, shared an impressive sketch of the couple’s college town where they met and fell in love on a thank you note."

Kensington Palace revealed that the magnificent sketch was from 2022 while Kate was still a student at the University.
