Duchess Catherine, Prince William and Prince George

Britain's Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are thrilled after being given a £2,000 painting for Prince George's nursery.

Tazia Fawley, 43, who has Down's Syndrome, spent six months working on the artwork, which features hot air balloons travelling over Bristol's Clifton Suspension Bridge and Rupert the Bear, to donate to the royal couple as a personal gift as a celebration of the birth of their son.

The 3ft x 1ft stunning master piece was first spotted by the Heart and Sold charity, which supports artists with Down's Syndrome and they offered it to St James' Palace.

The Duke and Duchess - who was known as Kate Middleton before she married William in 2011 - said they would love to accept the painting, which is estimated to be around £2,000, but Tazia - who has been painting for 14 years - insisted she was happy to give them the sketch for free.

Speaking to the South West News Service, Tazia said: "The painting is of the Bristol Balloon Festival and it's one of my favourite pieces of work.

"I gave it to Kate and Wills as a present, because they seem like good people and they wanted to bring some colour into their son's nursery.

"I'm so excited to know that my painting will be seen by the most famous baby in the world."
