Royal fans howl as Princess Charlotte follows 3-second rule after dropping marshmallow

There's nothing quite like a deliciously soft marshmallow toasted on a roaring fire, and it would appear that Princess Charlotte would agree.

The young Royal Family member was spotted adhering to the all-important "three-second rule" during a royal engagement at a Scout hut, and many fans can relate only too well.

In a video taken during the engagement, the eight-year-old princess could be seen enjoying a tasty s'more while standing behind mum Catherine, Princess of Wales, and brother, Prince Louis.

At one point, a marshmallow pops out of Charlotte's s'more and onto the grass below. Understandably not wanting to waste a bite, Charlotte did what many of us with a sweet tooth would do and swiftly picked it back up again.

Footage of the Wales family enjoying a round of s'mores was shared on Twitter, where fans were left highly amused by Charlotte's sweet and highly relatable moment.

One Twitter user chuckled: "Princess Charlotte dropped her food, picked it up, and ate it again. So me!!"

Another remarked: "It's refreshing to see that even royalty uses the 'three-second rule'. Princess Charlotte drops her s'more but it must taste too good to leave it in the grass."

A third approved: "I can vouch - s'mores are worth even five seconds! I love how totally normal this is!"

The Prince and Princess of Wales and their three children have today taken part in the Big Help Out at 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough, where they helped make improvements to the building.

This was the youngest Wales child Prince Louis' very first royal engagement, made extra special given that it was held on the third day of his grandfather King Charles' Coronation.

Cheeky Louis appeared to be enjoying the s'mores just as much as his big sister Charlotte, and could be seen licking his fingers with great enthusiasm before digging in.

The crowd could then be heard chuckling away after dad Prince William joked, 'You won't hear a peep out of him now'.

During their visit to Slough, the Wales family helped out with tasks such as resetting a path, digging a new soakaway, sanding and revarnishing the front door, and creating a mural.

All three children could be seen mucking in and appeared to be having great fun. As well as toasting s'mores, they also tried their hand at archery and even got the chance to ride in a digger.
