“We keep finding conkers in cupboards, in his bed – conkers everywhere,” Kate shared, explaining that Louis even loads them into his toy trucks and plays with them.
The Guardian described conkers as “nature’s Labubu,” showing how beloved they remain among children and adults alike. Recently, King Charles reportedly donated 300 conkers from Windsor Castle and was playfully called the “savior” of the World Conker Championship.
An Honor Declined with Humor
Impressed by Louis’s passion, organizers of the World Conker Championships reached out to offer him the honorary role of patron. However, according to The Telegraph, Kensington Palace responded on behalf of Prince William and Kate, politely turning down the proposal.
“We really appreciate the invite, but currently Prince Louis is ‘conker-trating’ on his studies,” the palace said in a witty statement, making it clear that Louis’s focus remains on school rather than royal duties.
Whether Prince Louis’s fascination with conkers is just a childhood phase or the beginning of a future World Championship bid remains to be seen. For now, his parents prefer that he concentrates on being a regular schoolboy — even if his conker collection continues to grow.
