Toddler steals Prince Harry's popcorn because she doesn't care for your royal airs and graces

Sharing is caring!

Who cares about the royal family? Well, this toddler certainly doesn't.

She found herself sitting next to none other than Prince Harry at the Invictus Games Toronto 2017, and she seized the opportunity to cosy up to him.

She didn't feel the need to engage the royal in polite conversation. Nor did she fancy shaking his hand. No, this little girl had her eyes on the prize—his popcorn.

Harry was busy chatting away to someone while—unbeknown to him—this crafty toddler was stealthily nicking his snack.

Prince Harry didn't seem to notice the little girl stealing his popcorn. She just quietly munched away as he had a conversation. Sharing is caring, after all.

But, when Harry clocks exactly what's going on, he then starts feeding popcorn to the little girl and playing with her. Aww.

We love you, Harry!
