Prince William looked incredibly handsome when he stepped out for a solo St. Patrick's Day outing on Thursday. The famous royal participated in the traditional handing out of shamrocks [1] to officers, servicemen, and servicewomen at a barracks on the edge of London with the Irish guards on March 17. Last year, Kate was by William's side [2] for the celebration, but she was absent this year in order to be at home with their two adorable kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte [3].

The outing comes on the heels of the family's picture-perfect ski vacation [4] to the French Alps earlier this month. The couple is also gearing up for their official tour of India [5] this Spring. Before they leave, Kate will make one more appearance when she opens a charity shop in Norfolk, England. Keep reading to see more of William's day, and then check out what he recently had to say about George's teenage years [6].
