King Charles, Queen Camilla celebrate major milestone together

King Charles and Queen Camilla celebrated the 25 years of the Royal Drawing School on Thursday.

Founded in 2000 by King Charles and artist Catherine Goodman, the School champions drawing as a vital tool for creativity – nurturing emerging and established artists across disciplines, from painting and design to film, architecture, and performance.

In a joint post, the royal family shared a video featuring King Charles and Camilla saying, “To mark this milestone, the Royal Drawing School are proud to present The Power of Drawing – a free summer exhibition celebrating the central role of drawing in contemporary creative practice.”

The exhibition features works from over 25 renowned artists – including David Hockney, Tracey Emin, Charlie Mackesy, and more – alongside drawings by 25 alumni from the past 25 years.

This week, the King and Queen visited the exhibition ahead of its opening at the School.

Royal Drawing School is based in East London but work with and support artists everywhere.

Commenting on the post, one fan says, “Truely beautiful the drawings & music definitely makes this great Celebration special for all.”

Another said, “The King has been going steady since his return from Canada. Although this is a wonderful event, please arrange a few days off for rest and renewal.”
