Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood wants the Queen to see the Prince Philip portrait he drew before the royal died
- The Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood wants Queen Elizbeth to see the portrait he drew of Prince Philip.
- Wood told the Daily Mail that Prince William invited him to present him with the painting.
Ronnie Wood of The Rolling Stones created a portrait of Prince Philip shortly before the royal's death and now he wants Queen Elizabeth to see it, according to the Daily Mail.
Speaking to the British tabloid in a story published on Tuesday, Wood, 74, said that his artwork caught the attention of Prince William, who now intends to show it to the Queen.
"I did a wonderful painting of the Duke of Edinburgh shortly before he died where he is tipping his hat," he told the Daily Mail's Eleanor Sharples. "I've been asked by Prince William to present the picture to him in the coming weeks, and he's going to show the Queen, so it's a real honor for me."
"I am very pleased with it. It's charcoal, a brown sepia pastel of the Duke, and I finished it shortly before he died and I was going to show it to him," he added.
Insider's Mikhaila Friel previously reported that shortly after his release from the hospital, Prince Philip died aged 99 on April 9, as the longest-serving British consort in history.
Taking to Instagram on the day of the royal's death, Wood first revealed his charcoal etching in a post captioned: "We are very sad to hear of the death of His Royal Highness, The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. It was an honor to have met the Prince over the years, and have been involved in his charitable causes."
"I recently painted this picture of him from a photo I saw, and wanted to share it with you," he added.
Ralph Heimans, the Australian-British royal painter who painted the royal's final portrait upon his retirement in 2017, told Insider that Philip enjoyed painting his own works, as well as engaging with artists about their craft.
"When I showed Prince Philip the portrait at the end of the work, we had a good moment in front of the painting, talking about technique, how our techniques differ," said Heimans. "He loves painting seascapes and landscapes and would paint from the deck of the Brittania and his approach, his whole technique was much more spontaneous."
Representatives for Wood, Buckingham Palace, did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment and Kensington Palace declined to comment.
