Prince Louis was invited to be an honorary representative at the World Conkers Championship, a traditional British game where children knock over wild chestnuts (called conkers) until one cracks. The role was supposed to be symbolic, but the palace responded with humor, saying that Louis is “conkering” (which sounds like the word concentrate) in lessons for now.

The organizers, after a small revelation that Kate Middleton made about Louis's obsession with these chestnuts, thought he would be the perfect figure for this symbolic post. But Kensington Palace reacted with a response that we did not expect!

"We really appreciate the invitation, but at the moment Prince Louis is being 'conquered' at school," said the royal couple's spokesperson.

How did this whole story come about?

During a recent outing with Melania Trump, Kate Middleton said that Louis has started a "secret career" as a wild chestnut picker.

"We find them everywhere, in the closet, on the bed, he even puts them in his toy trucks," she said.

Although Louis didn't get the job, the race was saved by King Charles, who personally helped by sending over 300 of them from Windsor Castle. Organizers say this help was crucial, as the dry summer had significantly reduced the number of quality seeds for the game.

"We don't know who collected them, but we like to imagine it was probably the king himself," the organizers joked.

Interesting fact:

The chestnut race began in 1965 as a charity initiative and to date has raised over $560,000 for organizations that help people with vision problems.

The winners are announced with the titles: King Conker and Queen Conker.

And for those who don't know yet:

"Conkers" are the seeds that fall from the chestnut tree in the fall and are used in an old British game, where two children smash their seeds with the aim of cracking their opponent's. It's basically a tournament of chestnut-clashing. And yes, it's a very popular game in England, and it's even taken quite seriously!
