EXCLUSIVE: How Kate Middleton is Using Home ‘Art Therapy’ to Help Heal Her Kids After Cancer Battle — And Divorce Rumors….See More

Inspired by her recent visit to London’s National Portrait Gallery with a group of schoolchildren, Kate Middleton decided to bring the lesson home.

RadarOnline.com can reveal the Princess of Wales has turned to art therapy to strengthen her bond with her three young children, whom she shares with Prince William, after her harrowing cancer battle last year.

On February 17, the 43-year-old shared some artwork by her own kids, Prince George, 11; Princess Charlotte, nine; and Prince Louis, six.

She wrote alongside the sketches: “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 fun together!”

The drawings, all seemingly of Middleton (who, in turn, drew her younger son), quickly garnered praise from royal fans.

George’s drawing, featuring Middleton sitting in an armchair, was particularly impressive.

As an art history major from St. Andrews, Middleton has been delighted with the positive feedback, an insider told Star.

They said: “She’s well pleased with their artistic skills, and she’s happy to share them with others.

“She’s their mother and they are her pride and joy, and she’s delighted that people recognize they have artistic talent as well.”

The princess, who revealed in January she’s in remission from cancer, hopes other parents will inspire their children to express themselves.

Her Shaping Us Framework initiative also supports the development of social and emotional skills in young children.

She wrote: “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.”

Earlier this week, RadarOnline.com revealed Middleton has been committed to ensuring her children grow up with a strong sense of duty without being weighed down by the traditional constraints of monarchy.

Having seen the struggles her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, faced as the “spare heir” – a label that tormented him so much he named his memoir Spare – she has aimed to create a more balanced environment for her children.

An insider told us: “Although the royal couple embraces tradition, they aren’t afraid to adapt and step away from strict protocols when the situation calls for it.
