Prince George's artwork featured in Country Life magazine

A drawing of a kingfisher by Prince George features as part of a special edition of Country Life magazine, guest edited by his father, the Prince of Wales.

The 13-year-old drew the bird, which is perched on a branch, while at home in the spring.

The artwork is included as part of a wider 300-page special edition of the magazine, in which the Princess of Wales has also given an interview.

As well as providing an insight into his family life, Prince William uses the magazine as an opportunity to shed light on the working conditions for servicewomen and feature his "fanatical" support for Aston Villa.

Prince George, who is said to enjoy drawing, appears to be following in the footsteps of his family.

His grandfather, the King, is a keen artist. Both his mother, Catherine, and uncle, the Duke of Sussex, studied art at A-level. Catherine also studied history of art at university.

Last year, Catherine, Prince George and his siblings - Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis - drew each other in four portraits posted on social media by Kensington Palace.

The palace said the royals made the sketches as "a moment of connection" to "spend time looking at and focusing on one another" while being creative.

Elsewhere in the edition, Catherine, who revealed two years ago that she was receiving cancer treatment, is said to have discussed the healing power of nature.

Prince William discusses walks with the family's dogs, Orla and Otto, and how his children love to go outside and explore. He also tells of his fondness for a pub visit and a pint of cider with ice.

Aston Villa manager Unai Emery is also featured in the magazine, and described the prince's support for the club as "fantastic" ahead of publication.

"If we can give him good news, good results or good moments in football, we are proud of it," he said in a video.

Another prominent part of the Country Life edition, published this week, is Prince William setting out his drive to ensure women in the British armed forces feel safe.

The Prince of Wales called for a military culture that is more inclusive and respectful of women, saying that more must be done to ensure women in the military are shown respect and protected from sexual harassment.

It follows the death of 19-year-old soldier Jaysley Beck in 2021. A coroner ruled the Army's failure to take action - after Gunner Beck was harassed by her line manager and sexually assaulted by another colleague - had contributed to her suicide.

Prince William is not the first senior royal to guest edit Country Life.

The King has guest edited the magazine on several occasions, including to mark his 65th and 70th birthdays. Queen Camilla and Anne, the Princess Royal, have also previously edited editions.
