Every kid knows the 5-second rule — evenPrincess Charlotte!
While eating some freshly made s’mores during avolunteering eventwith the 3rd Upton Scout Group in Slough on Monday, the 8-year-old royal was spotted dropping a piece of the graham cracker, chocolate and marshmallow treat on the ground.
Princess Charlotte’s relatable moment was almost missed — in the same video, herscene-stealingyounger brotherPrince Louis, 5, was eating his s’more and enjoying it enthusiastically. He rolled his neck in delight at the dessert and even knocked into his sister before momKate Middletonpulled him into an embrace.
The volunteer event with the Scouts was a family affair, withPrince William, Princess Kate, and all three Wales children, including 9-year-oldPrince George, joining the event. It was a part of theBig Help Out, a nationwide charity initiative in honor of the coronation ofKing CharlesandQueen Camilla.
Scouting is a cause close to Princess Kate, 41, who is the joint President of the Scout Association.
Kate was a Brownie as a young girl alongside her sister,Pippa, who attended King Charles' coronation on Saturday with their brother and parents. The royal became a patron of the organization in 2012, helping to raise volunteer numbers, and has been aregular visitorto their troops since.
When she wasn’t sneaking s’mores off the ground,Princess Charlotteacted as a devoted big sister role to her younger sibling,according to Anne Edwards, an adult Scout helper who worked withPrincess CharlotteandPrince Louis. The siblings painted cinder blocks to support wooden planters, where Edwards caught an adorable exchange between the siblings.
“She was advising him, obviously! ‘Don’t do that, Louis!’ — things like that,” Edwards says.
“They were very relaxed and joining in, like normal kids. That was what was really nice about it,” the volunteer says.

During asurprise appearanceat a Big Lunch along the Long Walk outside Windsor Castle on Sunday,Prince Williamjoked that Charlotte was tired after keeping an eye on Louis the day before.
According toHello!, when a little girl asked the Prince of Wales, 40, where Charlotte was, he replied, “She’s very tired after yesterday. She’s having a quiet day at home. It was making sure her little brother behaved himself.”
