The Royal Drawing School is a not-for-profit educational organisation and registered charity in Shoreditch, in the London Borough of Hackney, England. It was founded in 2000 by King Charles III (then Prince of Wales) and artist Catherine Goodman as The Prince's Drawing School and received its current name in 2014.
The school runs full and part-time drawing courses each year for adults and children of all abilities. This includes a postgraduate programme, The Drawing Year, a Foundation Year, public programme and courses for Young Artists aged 10 – 18 yrs.
It is part of The Prince's Charities, a group of not-for-profit organizations affiliated with Charles. In 2006, The Prince's Drawing School received a donation of £85,000 from The Prince's Charities Foundation.
In 2018, works created by The Royal Drawing School and two other charities founded by King Charles were put on display during the Prince & Patron exhibition to mark his 70th birthday.
