Prince George's artwork to feature in latest edition of Country Life, which just happens to be guest edited by his father the Prince of Wales.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/art
Granted the drawing is not bad and not without its merit, but when will all the other talented kids around the country get their artwork featured in a magazine just because their father happens to be guest editor that month?
I am not a raving anti-royalist but this kind of thing feels like rich privilege in action.

I heard his uncle Andy tried to submit a picture of a pair of tits |  |

I'm no artist but that looks bloody good if you ask me. |  | | |

I think you do need to consider the likely demographics of Country Life readers here. |  |

I love a bit of Country Life; always a dentist waiting room fave of mine
Well, either that or Take a Break
C L for the 25 or so pages of property p0rn, vast country houses with unaffordable prices and then the huge country estates with no asking price...."if you need to ask then you can't afford it"
Or the joys of T A B..... " I ate a cheese and marmite toastie and then my ovaries exploded"
But times have changed.... now I sit in the waiting room scrolling through TWTD
So I will probably never get to see Young Prince George's art |  | | |

always has been, and always will be, a case of "its who you know"
Talking to a mate of mine earlier, he's been waiting to do a certain coaching badge for well over a year now, with another couple to complete after that point. But because he's who he is, and not an ex player, he's firmly at the back of the queue. |  | | |

yes, public ownership of country life was planned for the first 100 days of corbyn's government. zarah sultana was going to be appointed editor to guarantee equitable coverage of oiks and proles in its news and features. |  |
| And so as the loose-bowelled pigeon of time swoops low over the unsuspecting tourist of destiny, and the flatulent skunk of fate wanders into the air-conditioning system of eternity, I notice it's the end of the show |

You do obviously, seeing as you took the time to comment. | | | |

it's a royal centred edition of CL. It's hardly going to feature the works of Walter Nobbs from Barnsley. | | | |

Nice bloke Walter, famous for his over sized self portraits, there nothing like large Nobbs | |

the large Nobbs do seem to be popular with the female art lovers. | | | |

Of all the things wrong in the world this is very very far down the list. And are you honestly saying you wouldn’t use your connections to give either yourself or a family member a boost in some way. Be honest now. |  |

Or alternatively, a child has just had his Saturday afternoon ruined because his dad made him put down his phone and do a drawing to fill a page of a magazine he had to edit.
This is not nepotism. No Prince benefitted from this enterprise. |  | | |

What advantage is Prince George getting here? If anything, considering the way of the world and social media, they are setting him up for some unkind comments. |  |

This country is a mess, this is way down the list of priorities
Hardly worth a mention |  |

Hang on - are you saying that being the King and 2nd in line of succession to the throne offers some kind of rich privilege?
I'm shocked. |  | | |

You're trying too hard to be offended.
It's the same in every day life. Always has been, always will be. |  | | |

To be fair, that Kingfisher is decent.
The others are still a lot better than mine to be fair.
If you could, wouldn't you want the best for your kid? It's not really a big deal, it's a magazine for poshos. |  | | |
