Prince George surprised everyone by publishing one of his drawings in the British press, revealing previously unknown artistic talents.
Prince George may only be a schoolboy, but his professional future is already mapped out. Upon his grandfather’s death, the former “royal baby” will become Prince of Wales, before succeeding his own father on the throne of the United Kingdom. One might think there’s no need for him to dedicate himself to anything other than preparing for his future reign. But George actually seems to be honoring another aspect of his family heritage by developing his artistic talents.
This week, his father, William, took on the role of guest editor for Country Life magazine , notably to discuss his relationship with nature. With the Earthshot Prize ceremony just a week away, the future king feels compelled to reaffirm his commitment to the environment, having grown up on the Highgrove estate, Charles III’s country residence designed to showcase the Windsor family’s environmental dedication.
To fulfill his role as editor-in-chief, the Prince of Wales could count on the support of his eldest son, who notably allowed his father to use one of his drawings to illustrate the pages of Country Life. The magazine published a strikingly realistic image of a kingfisher perched on a branch, noting that the drawing was created when Prince George was only 12 years old. The style, however, is anything but childish, given the meticulous attention to detail, from the sparkle in the eye to the shadows on the beak.
George, an artist like his mother and grandfather
Clearly a nature lover like his father, George has also inherited his mother’s talent for drawing. Kate is known for her love of art, a subject in which she achieved excellent grades in high school and which she later studied at university. Keen to pass on her passion to her children, the Princess of Wales has already shared several of their drawings on Instagram, hinting that George has the most confident hand among his siblings.
But the future king could also draw on the advice of his paternal grandfather to develop his artistic temperament.
