Kate And In-Laws Visit Dulwich Art Gallery

Kate and Prince Charles Get Crafty

This week as part of the Diamond Jubilee tour, Kate joined in-laws the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall, to visit Dulwich Picture Gallery, London.

Taking part in a class with children at the gallery's art education centre, they laughed and joked with each other as they got stuck in to making collage self-portraits. Charles roared with laughter at his own attempt, having forgotten to put on eyebrows.

It was the first time Kate had joined Charles on a visit to one of his charities. They chose to see the work of the Prince's Foundation for Children and the Arts at Dulwich because of their mutual interest, a Clarence House spokesman said.

He said it came about from "a conversation between a father-in-law and daughter-in-law" and added: "They have a shared interest in art, art therapy and children."

The royal party met children taking part in the Great Art Quest, a programme that introduces youngsters to local galleries, professional artists and storytellers, and learnt about the Children & the Arts Face Britain project, the UK's largest mass collaborative art project which is run by the organisation.

The Duchess of Cambridge recently made a visit to Oxford to see the work of art therapy charity The Art Room, of which she is patron.
