Story summary

The 13-year-old Prince George’s artwork is featured in a special edition of the Country Life magazine guest-edited by his father, Prince William. The drawing, a colorful kingfisher perched on a branch, was completed at home during spring when George was 12 years old. This marks another instance where the royal family highlights their artistic side; last year, Kate and her three children shared portrait sketches they drew of each other. The magazine’s 300-page bumper issue also includes an interview with Kate about the healing power of nature, a topic she often discusses due to her health journey. Prince William uses the platform to discuss his family life and share insights on issues close to him, such as his support for servicewomen and Aston Villa football club.

Narrative

The prince is said to enjoy drawing and created the picture of the bird, which is perched on a branch, at home in the spring when he was 12. In 2025, the princess and her children released portrait sketches they drew of each other after spending time together being creative. The four images were drawn in a variety of mediums from charcoal to ink but no details were released about who drew each one. Future queen Kate has also given a rare interview to the magazine, and is said to have discussed the healing power of nature, but details have yet to be released from the gold-embossed collectors’ edition, which goes on sale on Wednesday.
