Royal couple share heartfelt tribute to creativity and education in the arts
King Charles and Queen Camilla have marked the silver jubilee of the Royal Drawing School, a cause close to their hearts, with a special appearance and message.
Buckingham Palace released footage of the monarchs enjoying an exclusive preview of the school's latest exhibition, The Power of Drawing, ahead of its official opening. Founded in 2000 by Charles and artist Catherine Goodman, the school supports emerging and established creatives across disciplines, from painting and design to film and architecture.
The new exhibition highlights the enduring importance of drawing in contemporary art, showcasing works from renowned artists including David Hockney and Tracey Emin, as well as pieces from 25 alumni spanning the past quarter-century.
King Charles, a dedicated painter and long-time supporter of arts education, has frequently visited the school over the years. Queen Camilla, known for her passion for literature and the arts, accompanied him in honouring the milestone achievement.
