Hilarious moment Zara Tindall's daughter refused to share sweets with Prince Louis

This is the hilarious moment the Queen's great-granddaughter refuses to share sweets with Prince Louis.

Zara and Mike Tindall's second daughter, Lena Tindall, turns four today but had viewers in stitches when she slapped away cheeky Prince Louis' hand as he tried to grab her pack of MAOAM sweets.

Lena then moves away from the Prince while scowling at him as her cousin Savannah Phillips and Kate Middleton share a joke about the situation.

One of Her Majesty's 12 great-grandchildren, Lena appears to tell off Louis, who stole the show during the Jubilee with his face-pulling antics.

Lena's dad former England rugby player Mike revealed all the children were on sugar highs because there were so many sweets being passed around.

On podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby he told co-host James Haskell and Alex Payne: "Louis was just wanting to have fun.

"And my two are always mischievous, so it was just trying to keep a lid on it.

"There were a lot of sweets out back though, so they had complete sugar-highs."

One Twitter user said: "Everyone is talking about Louis but did anyone see Lena?

"She was a whole mood, especially when she turned up with snacks. Louis wanted some but she had priorities.

"At one point it's clear that she says: 'No, Louis!' And she gives him a look. Savannah's reaction says it all."

Mike added: "It was tough for them, they’re all young, asking them to sit in there from two until five is a long time.

"As any parent knows, you just do whatever needs to be done.”

On the day, Prince Louis was spotted upturning his own nose with his thumb and wandering over to sit on Prince Charles's lap during the show after growing restless.

The young Prince, four, was also spotted dancing in his seat, before pausing to eat a chocolate biscuit.

Meanwhile, his older siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis could be seen watching their younger brother in amusement as they sat in the royal box to watch the pageant.

Mia Tindall could be seen sitting on her father Mike's lap at one point in the concert before seeking a hug from Kate Middleton, while Lena Tindall sat on her cousin Savannah Phillips' lap.

Mike said the four-day celebration had been a "lovely weekend," adding: "It was outstanding to be fair, it was just great to be a part of.”

Lena Elizabeth Tindall was born on June 18, 2018 at the Stroud Maternity Hospital and is 23rd in line to the throne.

She was the fourth grandchild for Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips, as well as the seventh great-grandchild and fifth great-granddaughter of the Queen and the late Duke of Edinburgh.

She is Zara and Mike Tindall's second child, following big sister Mia who was born on January 17, 2014.

She also has a younger brother, Lucas, who completed the trio on March 21, 2021. Before Lena was born, the couple experienced two miscarriages.

Zara told The Sunday Times: "For me, the worst bit was that we had to tell everyone - everyone knew.

"I had to go through having the baby because it was so far along. I then had another miscarriage really early on.

"You need to go through a period where you don't talk about it because it's too raw, but, as with everything, time's a great healer."

Lena’s name was a unique choice for the Royal Family but it is loosely connected to another royal, Princess Helena, the fifth child of Queen Victoria.

Like many members of the family, her middle name is a homage to her great-grandmother, The Queen.

The young royal lives an incredibly private life and is still yet to make her debut on the Buckingham Palace balcony - unlike her cousins who have appeared there on several occasions for events like Trooping the Colour.

Lena is often spotted on her grandmother’s estate of Gatcombe in Minchinhampton, Gloucestershire.

The young royal is usually pictured playing with her cousins Savannah and Isla at events such as the Horse Trials or the Festival of British Eventing.

However, she made regular appearances in London earlier this month for Her Majesty's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

One of the moments that got royal fans talking the most was when she appeared with a fistful of sweets but refused to share with Prince Louis until everyone else had theirs.
