Oh dear, I missed that entirely. Great idea, though!
I found this article from 2018...apparently, he mentioned "George's wood" in a BBC documentary. It's at Birkhall.

For each of my two sons I have planted an elderberry tree after their birth. 
Not being the Duke of Cornwall, i did not have enough land to plant an elderberry forest.
But I did plant an ornamental peach tree for Queen Elizabeth and for her Platin Jubilee in 2022.

Thanks for this - what a wonderful thing for Prince George to be able to enjoy these trees throughout his whole life and to know that his grandfather planted them in his honor!
Exciting news, so sad Philip isn't there to share the joy. But maybe it will comfort the Queen.

That's lovely news, a close in age cousin for August.
Someone posted in the comments that today is Harry and the one who shall not be named's wedding anniversary (which I had promptly missed). They applauded Bea for announcing as revenge for what someone did to her sister on her wedding day and expressed hope it was the first round of "The Empire strikes back", but eh...I don't think it's so much snark than just "They don't matter to us [as in BRF] anymore".
cruel but true.....thankfully Diana injected some good genes into the pool
Even with her help, young William was gorgeous but doesn't age all that well. He keeps fit and is very charming though so that helps a lot.
It's amazing how different William looks when he's wearing a hat. That being said, I like him just as he is: comfortable in his own skin, charming, humorous and in a happy marriage with children he clearly adores and is rearing to be caring people.
agree, he was much cuter when he was a boy. but he's still better looking than his father
I think that for someone who is a maniacal attention seeker, being ignored is the cruelest cut of all. I look forward to the day when we rarely hear about them!
