One is a hack. Prince Charles is guest editing a commemorative edition of Country Life magazine marking the future king's 65th birthday.
The majority of the content in next week's edition of the 116-year old IPC Media title, which celebrates rural living and covers the concerns of people living in the country, has been chosen by HRH. It is the first time he has edited a national publication, according to IPC.
Prince Charles has written the leader column and his views on art, books, food and the countryside charities he supports are covered in the magazine.
Features includes Prince Charles' top 10 Countryside Champions and a design to deliver affordable rural housing commissioned from an architect from his Foundation for Building Community.
Alan Titchmarsh has written a feature about the prince's garden at Birkhall, his home on the Balmoral estate in Scotland and their is another about his Welsh residence.
Country Life's next edition is published on 13 November, the day before Prince Charles' 65th birthday.
Mark Hedges, Country Life editor, said: "The commemorative edition is a unique record of the prince's love of the countryside and his commitment to preserving its way of life. The prince has overseen the content of this special issue, from selecting contributors and suggesting features to writing the leader and contributing to reader favourites."
