Proud Dad William Shows Off Prince George’s Artistic Skills in Special Magazine Issue
Prince George is also following in his grandfather's footsteps, just like Prince William!
Prince William has successfully expanded his royal résumé by following in the footsteps of his father, King Charles, and taking on the role of guest editor for Country Life magazine’s November 11 issue. Charles, who has guest-edited the publication twice, worked on his first issue to mark his 65th birthday, which was released on November 13, 2013. Meanwhile, his second issue was to mark his 70th birthday, published on November 14, 2018. William has now continued the tradition.
In his guest edition, William shared a stunning image of a kingfisher illustrated by his eldest son, Prince George. The colorful drawing was reportedly done by George a year back when he was 12. It seems George, too, has taken cues from his grandfather, Charles, sharing not just a passion for the environment but also for art.
The young Prince showed off his artistic talent by illustrating a gorgeous Kingfisher in incredible detail. For those unversed, the King is an accomplished watercolour painter. According to reports, Charles specializes in plein air landscape paintings: a technique that combines two of his interests, nature and art. Charles loves to capture scenes from royal estates like Balmoral and Sandringham.
As for George, this is not the first time that his art has garnered attention. In 2025, George’s artistic skills came into the spotlight when Princess Kate, who holds a degree in art history from the University of St. Andrews, shared four family portraits.
These were created during a special art session with George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis as part of her ongoing support for the Shaping Us initiative, which centers on early childhood. Each of her children chose their mother as their subject. While young Louis and Charlotte drew Kate in vibrant colors, it was George’s detailed sketch yet again that gave fans a glimpse of his artistic skills.
The Princess of Wales had also shown off her artistic skills while thanking the people of Scotland. She shared an impressive sketch of Kate and Prince William’s college town, where they met and fell in love.
