Prince Louis offered his first ever official royal role and it's not what you'd expect

Prince Louis offered his first ever official royal role and it's not what you'd expect

The little Prince's hobby could be turned into a lifelong career

Getting your first Royal role is something of a milestone for any member of the family, but Prince Louis will have to wait a little longer after being assigned an odd job.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been asked by a charity organisation whether their seven-year-old brother would like to accept his first role.

Louis is the younger brother to Prince George, who turned 12 in July, and Princess Charlotte, 10.

As the nation has watched all three royal kids grow up and have celebrated their achievements, little Louis has probably been the one who has grabbed the world's attention and hearts due to his cheeky charm.

Even the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022, Louis put his hand over his mum's mouth and then stuck his tongue out at her.

In the midst of his funny nature, Kate has given an update on his latest hobby, which has led to her having to turn down a job offer for him.

During a joint engagement with American First Lady Melania Trump on 19 September, she shared that Louis has become obsessed with collecting conkers and leaving them around the home.

"We keep finding conkers in cupboards, in his bed - conkers everywhere!" Kate said, before adding that Louis puts them in his toy trucks and plays with them as if they were figurines.

Because of her admission, she and William had to politely turn down a role offered to him by the World Conker Championships.

The association wrote to the Prince and Princess to tell them about an opportunity to have his first official role as their honorary patron.

However, the Telegraph reported that his parents turned down the offer as he’s not a working member of the royal family.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson said: "We really appreciate the invite but currently Prince Louis is 'conker-trating' on his studies."

The World Conker Championships has been in the works since being established in 1965 to help support charities that help people who are visually impaired.

As of right now, they have raised £420,000.

If you didn’t know about this massive event, it occurs every year on the second Sunday of October in Northamptonshire, and those who win are crowned Conker King and Queen.

St John Burkett, spokesman for the World Conker Championships, said that they were ‘excitedly awaiting a response’ to their letter offering Louis a job.

According to the Telegraph, he said: “Like the many other organisations for which members of the Royal Family are patrons, we have charitable aims and have raised approaching £450,000 to help people living with sight loss.

“We were so heartened to hear that Prince Louis is such a conkers fan and he would be the perfect honorary patron for our organisation. We would be delighted were his parents to accept our offer.

“The Princess of Wales herself is such a wonderful champion of childhood and nature, and playing conkers connects both children and adults to nature.”
