Being a parent means having eyes in the back of your head, and the same goes for being an aunt. Back in 1990, Princess Diana had to corral son Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and niece Princess Beatrice when both kids woke up that morning and chose chaos. Harry couldn't hold still (or stop pointing at people) while his younger cousin nearly yeeted a glove over the edge. Who knows what — or who — that would have hit, had Diana not been quick-thinking and grabbed it from her.

The moment was posted to TikTok, and people praised Diana in the comments, with one calling her "an example of [an] attentive mother and a princess in the royal family." In a photo taken during that day, Beatrice's mother, Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, was seen holding her daughter while Beatrice decided to do some stretching, making it tough for her mom to hold her. Beatrice's hand is so outstretched that Diana had to move back or else risk accidentally getting hit in the face.
Harry has always been mischievous, having broken several royal rules, but Beatrice isn't known for bucking tradition and getting in trouble, which is why this throwback video of a younger her causing a scene is so special. She didn't make the list of royal children who were caught breaking the rules, though it seems like that glove-throwing moment slipped through the cracks.

Harry And Beatrice Have Always Been Close
Though they are four years apart, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Princess Beatrice grew up together and enjoyed each other's company. Harry is still part of Beatrice and sister Princess Eugenie's inner circle. Back in 2023, an insider told People that despite leaving the royal family and being shunned by numerous members over it, the York sisters remain close with their cousin. "They're still the best of friends and talk constantly," the source said.
Of course, the split within the family has caused strain for both Beatrice and Eugenie. "This whole drama between him and Meghan and the rift with the rest of the family has been really stressful for the girls," the insider revealed. "It's hard to watch because they see both sides of it." It's tough to remain fully objective when you find yourself caught in the middle of it. Nevertheless, the York sisters and Harry have maintained their friendship — childhood shenanigans among family often creates bonds that are hard to break.
