Royal rumble! Kate and Wills enjoy a Nerf battle with Louis, George and Charlotte as Louis yells 'Nerf or nothing, let's do this!' amid the toy guns and smoke bombs and playful Princess of Wales herself gets involved in fun shoot-out
The Royal family had a bit of a rumble last weekend as the Prince and Princess of Wales faced off against their children in a Nerf battle.
Prince George, 11, Princes Charlotte, nine, and six-year-old Prince Louis joined in the festivities at the Gone Wild Festival at Holkham Hall, Norfolk for a high-intensity Nerf war with toy guns and smoke bombs.
Excitable and 'unforgettable' Louis ran around yelling 'Nerf or nothing, let's do this!', according to Norfolk Nerf Parties boss Georgina Barron.
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', Ms Barron added, noting that hosting the family was the 'biggest honour' and 'unforgettable'.
Ms Barron said the royals, who were not photographed at the event, had wanted to enjoy a 'wholesome family day like any other normal family'. Kensington Palace has been approached for comment.

The Gone Wild Festival caters to 640 children each day, but last weekend had a 'very special VIP family' join in the fun, Ms Barron said.
'I was called to the production team's office and told that a very special VIP family had requested to play Nerf wars,' Ms Barron recalled.
'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.'
She says the Waleses, alongside her own family and members of the public, were running around the premise with Nerf guns and smoke bombs.
'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,' she said.

'The Princess of Wales grabbed a Nerf gun, ran around, and played stuck in the mud with her children. Prince Louis was shouting with glee, 'Come on, Nerf or nothing. Let's do this!' I'm still in awe of what a memorable experience we had.'
Shell Lancaster, who also attended last weekend's festival, said she saw William and Kate help their children 'go down the wall'.
Ms Barron added that the Nerf warriors had 'face paint on' and all 'charged around together'. They also played the children's tag game stuck in the mud.
She revealed the family had 'requested no protocol' and 'just wanted a wholesome family day like any other normal family'.
The small business owner says it was a day 'my boys will never forget' and has offered her 'coolest, kindest regards' to the royals.

News of the family outing comes just days after the Waleses sent a heartfelt message to British Olympians ahead of the end of the Paris Olympics last weekend.
In a rare sighting of the Princess of Wales, who is undergoing cancer treatment, the royal couple enlisted a string of stars - including Snoop Dogg - for their uplifting surprise message.
Kate was positively glowing in the 80-second Instagram video as William stood by her side and sported an unusually rugged look, with an unshaven appearance.
In the short clip, Kate said: 'From all of us watching at home congratulations to Team GB.'

The Prince of Wales, wearing an official blue Team GB top, then briefly added: 'Well done to Team GB you've been an inspiration to us all.'
Kate was last seen in public in June for Trooping of the Colour.
The Princess of Wales announced in March she was in the 'early stages' of preventative chemotherapy after being diagnosed with cancer.
Before Trooping the Colour in June, she let it be known she was making 'good progress' but had a few months left of chemotherapy and was 'not out of the woods'.
