While taking a sip in respect to fallen soldiers, the prince said instead of rum, he was surprised with a Jägerbomb.

This weekend, Prince William, 36, attended the event where those present are required to traditionally toast the fallen with a drink. Footage showed the prince taking a swig of rum with other attendees.

However, he revealed to the press that he had a shock after drinking from the hip flask because instead of rum, there was a Jägerbomb. William explained:

"I'll never be asked twice about drinking, it's very important. They tried to put a Jägerbomb in it! Imagine my surprise - burnt my throat."

For the occasion, the prince wore a navy blue coat with a poppy pinned on his lapel. The ceremony was held at Middle Temple in London.

William’s wreath was placed at the foot of the military drums on display at Middle Temple. After placing the arrangement, the prince took a step back and then bowed in respect.

Four hundred serving and veteran submariners were expected to have attended the annual service of remembrance. The service was held at the north bank of the Thames.
