The Gist

  • Prince Louis may be the youngest of the Wales children, but he received his first invitation to become a patron in 2025 at age 7.

  • The World Conker Championships approached the young royal to become an honorary patron.

  • Prince William and Kate Middleton kindly turned them down with a hilarious response.

The youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, Prince Louis, 8, has already made a name for himself with his big personality—as photos show. In 2025, the young royal was sent his first patron request after his parents revealed that Louis had become obsessed with conkers—the large seeds of a Horse Chestnut tree that often fall onto the ground and are known throughout the U.K.
