Let’s face it—kids absolutely love snacks. Whether it’s cookies, chips, or candy, little ones seem to have an endless appetite for treats. Parents everywhere know the struggle, and some even go to great lengths just to sneak in a snack of their own. One mom hilariously admitted she has to lock herself inside the pantry to enjoy a piece of licorice without tiny hands reaching for it.
It turns out even royalty isn’t immune to the charm of snack-loving kids. Back in 2017, during the Invictus Games in Toronto, Canada, Prince Harry found himself in the middle of an adorable and now-viral moment with a two-year-old toddler. The little girl, Emily Henson, is the daughter of Paralympian David Henson, one of Harry’s close friends and teammates from the games.
As the cameras rolled, Emily’s eyes locked onto the prince’s bag of popcorn. Sitting next to her mother, Hayley, she carefully reached over and began sneaking kernels when Prince Harry wasn’t looking. The playful theft went unnoticed at first, but when Harry finally caught her red-handed, he responded in the most good-natured way. Instead of scolding or pulling away, he jokingly took the popcorn back, making Emily giggle. What followed was a heartwarming exchange where the two ended up sharing the snack, much to the delight of everyone watching.

After all, who hasn’t tried sneaking a bite when they thought no one was looking?
