Prince William proved that 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 father chose to feature his son’s detailed drawing of a kingfisher while guest-editing a special issue of the publication.
The colorful illustration, which George created when he was just 12 years old, features an incredibly detailed depiction of a bird with dark green and yellow feathers, perched atop a piece of wood.
“This beautiful image of a kingfisher was drawn by 12-year-old Prince George and offers a glimpse into the young royal’s artistic talents and growing curiosity about the natural world,” Country Life wrote in the caption of an Instagram post of the never-before-seen image.
The drawing was made at the family home in the spring, according to the Daily Mail.
This isn’t 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 her 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 drew many landscapes of royal properties such as Windsor Castle and his country house Highgrove.
In October 2022, a print of a Balmoral painting by Charles sold at auction for an impressive $6,500, although it was valued at around $675.
The painting, accompanied by a certificate, was signed in pencil by Charles and dated 2001.
Earlier this year, 79 watercolors by the royal were exhibited at Garrison Chapel in London, marking the first comprehensive exhibition of his works. It included exterior scenes created in Scotland, France and Africa.
Time will tell whether Prince George had time to further develop his love of art during his first term at Eton College.
His parents were photographed dropping him off at William’s alma mater in Berkshire, England on September 8.
William attended the boarding school from 1995 to 2000. His former brother, Prince Harry, also attended the prestigious school from 1998 to 2003.
As for William and Middleton’s youngest children, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, they currently attend day school at Lambrook School in Berkshire, near Ascot.
