Prince George's art features in magazine edited by Prince William

A hand-drawn picture of a kingfisher by 13-year-old Prince George is featured in a special edition of Country Life magazine guest-edited by his father, the Prince of Wales. The drawing was made at home in Forest Lodge, Windsor, during the spring using coloured pencil, according to HELLO! and the BBC. The nearly 300-page issue goes on sale November 11 and includes an interview with the Princess of Wales, who discussed the healing power of nature two years after revealing she was receiving cancer treatment, the BBC reported. Prince William writes in the magazine that his children — George, Charlotte and Louis — motivate his work: "One day, George, Charlotte and Louis may ask me what I did to help communities thrive…we didn't simply imagine a better future, we helped build it, so that someone else could build further still," he writes, as quoted by HELLO!. The edition also covers the Prince's "fanatical" support for Aston Villa, with manager Unai Emery describing his backing as "fantastic" and saying, "If we can give him good news, good results or good moments in football, we are proud of it," in a video featured by the magazine, the BBC reported. William recalls family dog walks with English cocker spaniels Orla and Otto — Orla gifted by James Middleton in 2020, Otto one of her pups — and his fondness for a pub visit and a pint of cider with ice, HELLO! and the BBC noted. A prominent section addresses working conditions for servicewomen; the Prince calls for a more inclusive and respectful military culture and says more must be done to protect women from sexual harassment, following the 2021 death of 19-year-old soldier Jaysley Beck, whose suicide a coroner ruled was contributed to by the Army's failure to act after she was harassed by her line manager and sexually assaulted by another colleague, the BBC reported. Country Life editor-in-chief Mark Hedges described the Prince as a "family man, football fan and with a weakness for a chocolate cake first served to him by his grandmother," HELLO! reported. The King has previously guest-edited Country Life for his 65th and 70th birthdays, and Queen Camilla and the Princess Royal have also edited editions, the BBC noted. The Princess of Wales studied history of art at university, and both she and the Duke of Sussex studied art at A-level; last year Catherine, George, Charlotte and Louis drew each other in four portraits posted by Kensington Palace as "a moment of connection," the BBC said.
