Royal kids and their naughty moments: from tantrums to taunting tongues

In many ways royals are in a league of their own, enjoying experiences and privilege most of the world will never know, but sometimes they're just like us! From tantrums to fits of silliness and sassy moments, the world's future monarchs are still just kids - and these relatable moments are often caught on camera. Click through to see the little royal rascals at work as we round up their naughtiest moments...
Prince George and Princess Charlotte were among the cutest members of auntie Pippa's bridal party, but the little pageboy stepped out of line and had to be reprimanded by mom Kate as she held on to his sister's hand. While he was spotted spilling out his petals and getting silly behind the bride's wedding dress, we're not sure what caused this brief, tear-filled exchange. But as they do, George was back at it having fun again in no time! <p>Photo: © Getty Images
Always a joker, Prince Harry amused his cousins and - though she wasn't keen to show it - his mom Princess Diana while making an official appearance on the balcony at Buckingham Palace. The rebellious prince stuck his tongue out at crowds while his brother William, oblivious to what was going on behind him, smiled. <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
Zara and Mike Tindall's daughter Mia has never had a shortage of personality, and the cheeky little girl gave her little friend of dose by playfully sticking out her tongue. Mia's most famous naughty moment was, of course, during a portrait shoot with the Queen and her great-grandchildren marking the monarch's 90th birthday. Speaking to <em>Good Morning Britain</em> about the moment, her dad Mike said: "It just happened at the right time. She was being a bit naughty. The queen got it quite right when she told her, 'Just hold the handbag now' and she did that. It ended up being a great photo for her." <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have made no secret of the fact that their little one loves planes and helicopters (he even offered to fly them home from Canada!), but while meeting a helicopter pilot Prince George had a bit of a meltdown. Mom comforted the third-in-line to the throne as the kind pilot looked on with a reassuring smile. <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
Princess Beatrice wasn't having any of it at a polo fundraiser in in 1991, where the little royal - clad in a pretty pink and white party dress - threw quite the tantrum. Though we're not sure what all the fuss was about, her bodyguard seemed amused walking alongside the princess. <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
Sometimes we just don't want to have our photo taken! Prince Christian may be second in line to the Danish throne, but in an early photoshoot with his dad, Crown Prince Frederik, the little one seemed to be having some teething troubles, bursting into tears with his fingers in his mouth. <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
Prince William got cheeky with his teacher, literally. The little rascal gave his teacher a quick pinch during a tennis lesson in the park while one of his friends looked on in amazement. <p>Photo: &copy; Rex
Princess Charlotte had a bit of a meltdown at the Hamburg airport after the royal cutie toppled over and burst into tears. The family was on hand to check out the local helicopters, but one member probably needed a nap - and a snuggle from mom. <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
Princess Madeleine seemed to be fighting a losing battle with her giggly little girl, Princess Leonore of Sweden, who was perched on a rug with a little friend. As her mom tried to distract her by pointing to something in the distance, the royal cutie looked to be holding her ground. <p>Photo: &copy; Rex

Princess Beatrice was a handful for mom Sarah, the Duchess of York, during a Buckingham Palace balcony appearance. The energetic youngster tried to grab mom's hat as the Duchess of York leaned back comically to the delight of Prince William and Princess Diana. <p>Photo: &copy; Rex
Only a cuddle from mom could comfort Prince George during his first official UK engagement at the Royal International Air Tattoo, where the future monarch had a few tearful moments. For the most part, George enjoyed his tour, even asking, "Mummy, can I fly the Red Arrow now?" <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
Prince George did some serious jumping in his noise-cancelling headphones while exploring the Royal Airforce Station in Gloucestershire, dodging dad as Prince William tried to give him a bit of a talking to. <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
At the Festival of British Eventing in 2015, adorable Mia Tindall made her displeasure known to mom Zara. The youngster seemed to have been upset to be taken away from the grassy patch she'd been playing on. But who can expect even a royal toddler to be happy all the time? <p>Photo: © Getty Images
Princess Charlotte was the woman of the hour at her Christening in 2015 but Prince George still managed to steal the show during a naughty moment after the family strolled through the park. He may have been overwhelmed by the crowds, but later perked up when the service was over, standing on his tippy toes to peer into his little sister's pram! <p>Photo: &copy; Getty Images
