King Charles’s grandson receives a light-hearted invitation to become a
patron of the World Conker Championships after Catherine’s playful remark.
King Charles’s youngest grandson, Prince Louis, has been offered his
first-ever royal role—though his parents have politely declined on his behalf.
The seven-year-old royal, known for his cheeky personality during public
appearances, caught the attention of the World Conker Championships after
Catherine mentioned his love for collecting conkers during a chat with former
US First Lady Melania Trump.
According to reports, the organisers extended an invitation for Louis to
become a patron of their annual competition. However, Kensington Palace
responded with a humorous statement: “We really appreciate the invite but
currently Prince Louis is ‘conker-trating’ on his studies.”
The offer followed Catherine’s light-hearted conversation during the recent US
State Visit, where she revealed that Louis has been gathering conkers
“everywhere,” including in cupboards, under his bed, and even in his toy
trucks.
Palace aides were said to be amused by the gesture, though William and
Catherine chose to decline the honour. The Wales children—George, Charlotte,
and Louis—are all known for their love of outdoor play, a reflection of their
parents’ commitment to ensuring they stay connected with nature.
