A drawing by Prince George will be published in an edition of Country Life magazine guest-edited by his father.
The Prince, 13, drew a kingfisher and gave permission for the Prince of Wales to use it in the publication of the special 300-page issue.
The Princess of Wales will also feature in the magazine, in an interview about the importance of nature to her own life and work.
The teenage future King, who is now at Eton, has been known to admirers of the Royal family as a talented artist since he was a small child, with his parents occasionally sharing his artwork with the public.
Last year, he drew a line portrait of his mother as part of her early years childhood campaign and a watercolour reindeer on a Christmas card posted on the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media in 2022, when he was nine.
The kingfisher was drawn when Prince George was 12, showing the delicate, bright orange and blue feathers of the native British bird.
It will be included in the special issue, edited by the Prince of Wales and published on Wednesday.
Writing the magazine’s leader column as part of his editing role, the Prince said: “The places you love best are not the ones you preserve unchanged, but the ones you keep quietly improving.
“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.”
Said to have worked for six months on the project, the future King will use the magazine to highlight issues including women in the military, the future of the countryside, mental health for farmers, and members of the public who are trying to save nature.
Promoting the magazine, a spokesman said the Prince used its pages to “recall family walks with the dogs Orla and Otto and how George, Charlotte and Louis love to get out and explore. The Princess of Wales also features, discussing the healing power of nature, along with a delightful drawing of a kingfisher by Prince George”.
A spokesman for Kensington Palace added: “Prince George drew the picture at home at Forest Lodge, Windsor, in the spring and said yes to his father’s request to use it in print.”
The issue also features an interview about leadership with Unai Emery, the manager of Aston Villa, the football team both Princes support, and a recipe for the future King’s favourite chocolate fridge cake.
He will also speak about his memories of growing up at Highgrove and “remembering not to throw open the curtains before getting dressed as the garden was often filled with visitors”.
Mark Hedges, editor-in-chief of Country Life, said: “The Prince of Wales has been a formidable, hands-on guest editor whose commitment to the future of the countryside, willingness to shine a light on darker issues and determination to highlight environmental emergencies is reflected in every feature personally chosen by him.
“We also see the Prince as a family man, football fan and with a weakness for a chocolate cake first served to him by his grandmother.”
The Prince follows in the Royal family’s footsteps to guest-edit the magazine.
The King did so twice, to mark his 65th birthday in 2013 and his 70th in 2018.
In 2020, his aunt, the Princess Royal, guest-edited a commemorative edition to celebrate her 70th birthday.
The Queen, who was Duchess of Cornwall at the time, took on the guest-editing shift in 2022 for her 75th birthday, with the issue becoming Country Life’s biggest-selling of all time.
