The heir to the crown has been sketching landscapes for fifty years. This is the first time that he has presented so many works to the public.
This gift would flow in the royal blood. Endowed with a pretty stroke of the pencil, Queen Victoria always carried with her greasy leads and sketchbooks. A few years ago, the British Museum devoted an exhibition to her drawings and those of her husband, Prince Albert, who, like her, sketched scenes of daily life. Even if he cultivated discretion, Prince Philip also liked to hold the brush. And it is now his son Charles who exhibits in a London chapel.

If the Prince of Wales has already shown his works, the exhibition is the largest ever organized with 79 watercolors. By place and country, we travel from the parks of Tanzania to the Scottish hills, from Saint-Moritz to Mount Athos via Provence or Transylvania. Stopping at the royal residences, Castle Mey, Balmoral or Highgrove House. As evidence, nature is at the heart of the watercolors of the “green prince” at the forefront in the battles over the environment.
