The youngsters sat down together with their mother 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.

The third by Prince George, depicting Kate seated cross-legged in armchair, appeared to be drawn with a fineliner.

The fourth, drawn by Kate herself, was a detailed sketch of Prince Louis with his eyes closed – with many social followers praising the Princess's artistic talents, as well as those of her eldest child.

Kate, who studied History of Art at university, has long held a passion for the arts and photography. 

It comes after the launch of The Bobeam Tree Trail at the National Portrait Gallery, which Kate visited with school children earlier this month.

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 @earlychildhood 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 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.

The future King has not attended consecutive years since he took on his formal role as BAFTA's President in 2010, succeeding the actor and director Richard Attenborough.

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.
