AceShowbiz - Being second in line to the British throne apparently doesn't let Prince William off the hook when it comes to practical jokes. The Duke of Cambridge recently fessed up that he had fallen victim to a Jagerbomb prank while attending an event honoring servicemen and women who lost their lives while on duty.

The 36-year-old prince attended the Submariners' Remembrance Service and Parade on Sunday, November 4. Nearing the end of the ceremony, he was required to take a sip out of a small silver flask along with the others as their way to toast the fallen. It was during this tradition that he found that the rum in his flask had been replaced with a mix of Jagermeister and an energy drink.
It wasn't until the reception that the oldest son of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer revealed the trick on him. When asked if he bought his own drink, he cheekily answered, "I'll never be asked twice about drinking, it's very important. They tried to put a Jägerbomb in it!" He added, "Imagine my surprise; burnt my throat!"

The mischief seemingly left a lasting impression to the husband of Kate Middleton. He was later seen taking out a silver flask to retell the prank story again. "They tried to put Jagerbomb instead of rum - that would have sorted me out," he joked with the guests. "I was expecting rum and got a Jagerbomb."

William attended the Sunday service at Middle Temple Hall in London as the Commodore-in-Chief of the Submarine Service. For the occasion, he donned a navy blue coat embellished with red flower and military accolades on his lapel. Joining veterans and their families, he was also seen laying a wreath of poppies at the foot of military drums to honor those who died in World War I.
