Make Page Six a Preferred Source Prince William proved his son, Prince George, is a picture of royal talent by displaying one of the 13-year-old’s drawings in the latest issue of Country Life magazine.
The proud dad chose to showcase his son’s detailed drawing of a kingfisher while guest-editing a special issue of the publication.
The colorful illustration, which George completed when he was just 12, features an incredibly detailed depiction of a bird with dark green and yellow feathers, perched on top of a piece of wood.
“This beautiful picture of a kingfisher was drawn by Prince George, aged 12 at the time, and offers a glimpse into the young royal’s artistic talents and growing curiosity about the natural world,” Country Life captioned an Instagram post of the never-before-seen image.
The drawing was completed at the family’s home during the spring months, per the Daily Mail.
It’s not the first time the Prince of Wales has shown off George’s art after William and Kate Middleton chose to use George’s drawing of a reindeer for their 2022 Christmas card.
It appears the young royal has inherited his mother’s love of art, with the Princess of Wales previously majoring in art history at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met her husband.
Meanwhile, George’s grandfather, King Charles III, is also known as a talented amateur painter and has drawn many landscapes of royal properties such as Windsor Castle and his country home Highgrove.
