Prince William has been severely reprimanded by his Army sergeant, following a prank involving a mini-motorbike.
It is a tradition that cadets are allowed to turn up in costume for their rehearsal for their passing-out parade. Unfortunately, the Prince and his friends decided this meant they could turn up in blazers and helmets, riding mini-bikes.
This did not go down well with the Staff Sergeant, reported to be ‘So angry his eyes were bulging’, told the Prince to "Get those f***ing bikes off my parade square!”, then ordered the embarrassed Royal to stand against a wall as the dressing-down continued, said to be "The loudest dressing down we've ever heard. We doubt anyone has spoken to Prince William like that before."
