Prince George has given royal fans a glimpse of his artistic talent after his father, Prince William, shared an intricate drawing of a kingfisher created by the young royal.
The sketch, showing the brightly coloured bird perched on a branch, appears in the November issue of British magazine Country Life, which Prince William guest edited.
The Prince of Wales submitted the artwork to the magazine’s editor, Mark Hedges, who revealed the story behind it in an article for The Times.
George created the drawing about six months ago, when he was 12. Hedges recalled William sending it with a humble request.
“He sent me an extraordinary drawing by his son Prince George of a kingfisher: ‘Please use it if you think it’s good enough’,” Hedges recalled.
“I told him that it was extraordinary for a 12-year-old and, besides, it was his issue not mine.”
The artwork has since attracted attention online, with royal fans praising the young prince’s attention to detail and creative ability.
“Good grief. That young man is talented!” one admirer wrote, while another described it as “like an illustration from an encyclopedia.”
It is not the first time George and his siblings have shown an interest in art.
In February 2025, his mother, Princess Kate, shared a collection of drawings by George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis as part of her work highlighting the importance of early childhood development.
“Drawing portraits with children can provide a moment of connection as you spend time looking at and focusing on one another, as well as being creative and- most importantly- having lots of fun together!” the Princess of Wales wrote at the time.
