Prince Louis’s first royal opportunity blatantly rejected by Prince William and Princess Kate
Prince Louis turns down first royal role at just seven years old
Prince Louis has seemingly missed his first official role, which was offered to him at the age of seven.
According to a report published by The Telegraph, Louis was offered the role of honorary patron of the World Conker Championships.
Earlier this week, the spokesperson for the World Conker Championships, St John Burkett, told the publication about the patron role offered to Louis.
"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," he said.
John added, "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 if his parents accepted our offer.”
However, Prince William and Princess Kate have humbly declined the role, as they believe Louis has many years to go before becoming a working royal.
"We really appreciate the invite but currently Prince Louis is "conker-trating" on his studies," a palace spokesperson confirmed.
This update comes after Kate Middleton made a surprising confession about Prince Louis’ unusual habit of collecting conkers at Kensington Palace during her outing with US First Lady Melania Trump last month.
