A sassy toddler stole the show during a meet and greet between Princess Kate and local community members in Wales on Friday in an adorable moment caught on camera.

The 1-year-old, whose name is Daniel, was being held by his mother Lucy Williams when he reached out and grabbed the princess' black handbag and began playing with it.

Kate burst into laughter as the unexpected moment unfolded and let the curious young boy examine and play with her bag for a brief period.
