Prince George, Duke of Cambridge
Prince George, Duke of Cambridge stands in the City of Westminster as an equestrian sculpture by Adrian Jones. The bronze horse carries George in the traditional pose used for military leaders and figures of authority. Several military and historical memorials surround the sculpture, creating an open-air gallery of British history.
Adrian Jones was a former army veterinary captain who became known for equestrian works, including the Peace Quadriga. The rider commemorates a royal grandson of King George the Third, born in 1819 and deceased in 1904. George served as Commander in Chief of the British Army from 1856 to 1895, nearly forty years.
Inscriptions identify him as Field Marshal and record his army command, birth, and death. The right side preserves the dates 1856 to 1895 beside his military title. Its unadorned equestrian form connects Westminster’s public art with the army and Britain’s royal history.
