The Duchess told the author of The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse: "I've read it so many times. You know, it's an easy read but it's a deep read at the same time. And I just, I love, I just love your drawings. I've spent my whole life as a child doodling horses."
Charlie responded: "Have you? Me too! That's what I always do."
The Duchess continued: "I used to do it everywhere, but mine unfortunately, haven't turned out like yours."

Charlie said: "But does that matter? I used to volunteer teaching people to draw in a place. And a lot of them, people had, you know, they were in their eighties a lot of them.
"And I remember saying to them that they always said, 'I can't draw, I can't draw,' and I said, 'Well, you can, it's just you can't draw like other people. But does that matter to you?'
"Why not just draw like you only you could draw and then try and accept that, and once they'd understood that, that their drawings needn't be as the same as others, they then went, they were unstoppable, these people."
The Duchess then revealed what she had been up to during lockdown, saying: "Probably in these lockdowns, I should have just sat down and, and tried to do a lot more drawing and I just actually immersed myself into books."
