Prince William may have graduated years ago, but that doesn't make him immune to some college-level pranks, which is exactly what he endured at the Submariners' Remembrance Service and Parade in London. FYI, this service and parade was held in honor of service people who died while serving their country, which adds an interesting layer to this prank.

So during this service, William, who is the Commodore-in-Chief of the Submarine Service, joined others in attendance for a toast to 'absent friends.' Because this toast was a known part of the ceremony, William was equipped with a flask full of rum, but what he got instead was a mouth full of Jägermeister— specifically, a Jägerbomb.

For the uninitiated, a Jägerbomb is made up of Jägermeister and an energy drink and has the ability to completely f*ck up your night if you're not careful. Plus it was in that LMFAO 'Shots' song, which, wow the memories!

Understandably, when William unknowingly took a sip from his flask, he was shaken to the core. At the reception, he explained, 'That would have sorted me out. I was expecting rum and got a Jägerbomb!' He also confessed, 'Imagine my surprise; burnt my throat!'

What jokester dared to pull this prank on William? William didn't say and didn't shout, 'Off with his head!' during the service, so guess it's all water under the bridge...for now.
