Prince George’s Kingfisher Drawing Lands in a Country Life Special Edition

Prince George has had one of his drawings featured in a special edition of Country Life, with the young royal’s kingfisher artwork included in the 300-page issue guest-edited by his father, Prince William. The magazine says George made the picture at home in the spring. It shows a kingfisher perched on a branch. The appearance gives readers a glimpse of a creative interest that has reportedly been part of George’s life for some time: he is said to enjoy drawing. The prince is also following a family tradition of artistic pursuits. His grandfather, King Charles, is a keen artist, while his mother, Catherine, and his uncle, Prince Harry, studied art at A-level. Catherine later studied art history at university. The special edition also includes an interview with Catherine about her recovery from cancer. She described being told that there would be “good days and bad days.” William’s editorial contributions range across other subjects, including the working conditions of servicewomen and his enthusiastic support for Aston Villa. George has previously shared a family art project with his siblings. Last year, Catherine, George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis each drew portraits of one another, which Kensington Palace posted on social media. The Country Life feature now offers another public look at George’s artwork, this time as part of an issue shaped by his father.
