KATE Middleton, Prince William and their three kids were spotted at a huge Nerf battle last weekend.
It seems that the Royal family had a bit of a rumble as the Prince and Princess of Wales faced off against Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis, in a Nerf war.
The young royals joined in the festivities at the Gone Wild Festival at Holkham Hall, Norfolk, for a high-intensity showdown with toy guns and smoke bombs.
And as he normally does, ‘adorable’ Louis amused onlookers with a hilarious outburst.
The excitable and ‘unforgettable’ six-year-old ran around yelling ‘Nerf or nothing, let’s do this!’, according to Norfolk Nerf Parties boss Georgina Barron.
Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales, who has been battling cancer, even ‘grabbed a Nerf gun, ran around, and played stuck in the mud with her kids’, Georgina added.
Georgina noted that hosting the family was ‘unforgettable’ and the ‘biggest honour’.
She claimed that the royals, who were not photographed at the event, had wanted to enjoy a ‘wholesome family day like any other normal family’.
The Gone Wild Festival caters to 640 children each day, but last weekend had a ‘very special VIP family’ join in the fun, as Georgina said: “I was called to the production team’s office and told that a very special VIP family had requested to play Nerf wars.”
She continued: “The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their three children, arrived with friends and family.
“They asked if we could provide a high-intensity, non-stop game of Nerf fun, and of course, Norfolk Nerf did what we do best.”
Georgina recognised that the Waleses, who spend a ‘normal’ summer holidays at Balmoral, were running around the premises with Nerf guns and smoke bombs, alongside her own family and members of the public.
She added: “My sons Euan Barron, Jenson Barron, and Junior Barron had the ultimate honour of playing Nerf Wars with Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and the adorable Prince Louis.”

KATE'S key rule for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis is about kindness.
According to HELLO! Online’s Royal Correspondent: “Based on observations of photographs of Princess Diana at the time, and the current Princess of Wales, they are both very affectionate with their children.
“Kate is often seen holding her children’s hands or picking them up for cuddles when they were smaller.
“There are often lots of comforting gestures, such as a pat on the back or stroking their hair. When interacting with other children on her public engagements, Kate often crouches down to their level to engage with them – something that Diana would often do.”
When she’s at the family’s home of Adelaide Cottage in Windsor, despite her royal status, insiders say Kate is just like any other “normal mum”.
A friend explained that behind closed doors, the 42-year-old is “very chilled at home” but definitely not a pushover and will tell the kids off when needed.
They told PEOPLE: “It’s a normal, busy family home with kids running around and knocking things over. There’s no airs and graces.
“She is doing that to help her children be more grounded and keep their reality in check. That’s what really matters to her.”
“I’m still in awe of what a memorable experience we had.”
Georgina added that the Nerf warriors had ‘requested no protocol’, and had ‘face paint on’.
She claimed that they all ‘charged around together’ and enjoyed the popular children’s game stuck in the mud.
The small business owner said it was a day ‘my boys will never forget’ and offered her ‘coolest, kindest regards’ to the royals.
