Do yourself a favor and just watch Dikembe Mutombo share popcorn all morning long. Yes, it’s that good. This GIF of the royal couple enjoying a courtside snack has layers; wonderful, beautiful layers.

Layer 1: Dikembe gets himself popcorn before offering it to the Royal Family

Etiquette be damned, that’s just sensible snacking. You always run the small risk of the snackee eating all the food offered by the snacker. Not that I think the Royal Family would eat all Dikembe’s popcorn, but why take that risk?

Layer 2: Prince William licks his lips just thinking about that popcorn

HE’S SO FRIGGIN’ PUMPED ABOUT THAT POPCORN!

Layer 3: The endless joy of watching basketball players palm things

This is not a small bag of popcorn. It’s larger than the head of all three snackers. Dikembe don’t care. It might as well be a box of Tic Tacs to him.
