Prince William looked dapper in a velvet blazer at a glitzy awards show this evening, as he stepped out without Princess Kate.
The Prince of Wales attended The Centrepoint Awards at The British Museum this evening, wearing a navy velour suit.
The royal, 42, is a patron of the homelessness charity.
Prince William looked in good spirits as he attended the event without his wife, the Princess of Wales, who has been slowly returning to public life following the news she has finished her chemotherapy.
Earlier this week, the King’s eldest son, who is due to give a speech tonight, revealed he took “inspiration” and “guidance” from his mother Princess Diana in his work to end homelessness.
Speaking in a new preview for his upcoming ITV documentary “Prince William: We Can End Homelessness”, the royal showed the behind the scenes journey of his campaign Homewards.
The documentary charts the first year of his campaign to end homelessness.
The future King has set his sights on making rough sleeping, sofa surfing and temporary accommodation a thing of the past in his ambitious five-year initiative programme Homewards.

William said in the clip: “I’ve slowly tried to work out what I can bring to the role and platform that I have.
“I have taken some inspiration and guidance from what my mother did, particularly with homelessness.”
In the short video posted to Instagram, William was seen speaking to former English footballer Farah Williams, who was herself once homeless.
“I don’t believe we should be living with homelessness in the 21st century,” William added.

The Prince of Wales described it as a “unique opportunity” to create lasting change, as he builds on the legacy of his late mother Princess Diana.
The two-part series, which has the working title “Prince William: We Can End Homelessness”, will follow William as he launches Homewards across the country.
It will involve stories from those who are currently experiencing homelessness or have previously been homeless.
