Getting your first royal role is usually a big milestone for any young member of the family — but it seems Prince Louis will have to wait a little longer after being offered a rather unusual job.

The seven-year-old son of Prince William and Princess Kate recently caught the attention of the World Conker Championships, who wrote to the couple asking if their youngest child would like to become the honorary patron of the charity event.

Louis, who is the younger brother of Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 10, has become something of a royal fan favourite for his cheeky expressions and playful personality. From mimicking his big brother at public events to holding his ears during an RAF flypast, the young prince has a habit of stealing the spotlight.

Even at the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in 2022, Louis made headlines when he playfully covered his mum’s mouth — and then stuck his tongue out at her.

Kate Reveals Louis’ Latest Obsession

During a joint engagement with U.S. First Lady Melania Trump on September 19, the Princess of Wales revealed that Louis has developed a new hobby — and it’s one that has taken over their home.

“He’s become completely obsessed with collecting conkers,” Kate shared. “We keep finding conkers in cupboards, in his bed — conkers everywhere!”

She added that Louis likes to put them in his toy trucks and play with them as if they were action figures.

Because of this new fascination, the World Conker Championships decided to reach out, offering the young prince the chance to become their honorary patron — his very first “royal role.”

However, Kensington Palace politely declined, explaining that Louis is still far too young for such responsibilities.

“We really appreciate the invite,” a Palace spokesperson said, “but currently Prince Louis is ‘conker-trating’ on his studies.”

The World Conker Championships

The World Conker Championships were established in 1965 to raise funds for charities supporting people with visual impairments. So far, the event has raised more than £420,000, and each year, competitors gather in Northamptonshire on the second Sunday of October to battle for the titles of Conker King and Conker Queen.

Spokesman St John Burkett told The Telegraph that the organisation had been “excitedly awaiting a response” from the royal household.

“We were so heartened to hear that Prince Louis is such a conkers fan,” he said. “He would be the perfect honorary patron for our organisation. The Princess of Wales herself is such a wonderful champion of childhood and nature — and playing conkers connects both children and adults to the outdoors.”

It looks like Prince Louis won’t be the Conker King just yet — but with his boundless curiosity and cheeky spirit, it’s safe to say he’s already winning hearts wherever he goes.
