Watch : Sneaky toddler steals Prince Harry's popcorn

A toddler has become the unlikely star of the volleyball at the Invictus Games, after sneaking a few pieces of popcorn from Prince Harry. Emily Henson, 2, was seated next to the prince while watching a match between the UK and Denmark on Thursday.

Prince Harry made a new friend at the Invictus Games last night but it appeared two-year-old Emily Henson was only after one thing: his popcorn. Prince Harry has been making many appearances at the Invictus Games this week, including one with his girlfriend Meghan Markle. This was their first public appearance together and has resulted in many engagement rumors.

The toddler, who is the daughter of former Invictus Games athlete and Harry's friend David Henson, was shown on television coverage of the match taking no fewer than six pieces of popcorn from the Prince's box, before he realised. And good on her, to be quite honest. Her parents' taxes paid for that popcorn. She deserves it.


What good is financially maintaining a family for generations if you can't take their popcorn every once in a while? n fact, she would have been well within her rights to take Harry's wallet. Why not the shirt off his back, too? This kid is onto something. After jokingly pulling the popcorn away, Harry offered the tot a couple of pieces, before pulling a classic "one for you – oh, oh no! – it's in my mouth" dad move.
