Prince Harry has been in the headlines plenty this week after he and girlfriend Meghan Markle went on their first public outing - but now he's back in the news for an even cuter reason.

In adorable footage captured by British television network ITV, Prince Harry can be seen chatting and having a laugh with a young toddler who tried to steal his popcorn.

The moment came about while the prince was watching a sporting match in Toronto at the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style event for wounded military veterans he founded in 2014.

Prince Harry was sitting with friends when their young daughter began taking popcorn from him while he wasn't looking. After a few grabs, Prince Harry started to notice, and began to joke with her.

At first he pretended to be annoyed and pulled the popcorn away, before picking one piece of the snack up and handing it to her. He then began entertaining the young girl by pulling funny faces.

The moment has gone somewhat viral, with many noting how personable and good with children he seems.
