Hannah Dale is believed to have inspired Prince George’s Christmas portrait.
She told Hello! Magazine: “I think having a love of animals and love of nature is obviously something that’s maybe captured his attention.”
Ms Dale, from Lincolnshire, added: “That inspires me very much.”
She also explained how it was a “lovely surprise” to see the post shown on her social media feed.

Dale recognised it was potentially influenced by one of her Christmas card designs.
George’s parents, Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 40, used the painting to wish Instagram followers a Merry Christmas.
