According to reports, the three-year-old girl, Estella Westrick, was being presented to the Holy Father for a blessing.

"Right before she went up she was a little nervous, then she stole his hat. It was hilarious, everyone was laughing including the Pope.," Butorac told CNN. He added: "It's her first full day in Rome, who knows what she will get up to tomorrow."
