After Playing Bartender with Kate, Prince William Steps Out Solo to Open Theater in London
After a two-day visit to Northern Ireland with wife Kate Middleton (which saw them pull the perfect pints behind a bar!), Prince William was back in London on Monday on official duty.
The royal dad of three arrived at the Foreign Office to open The Mayhew Theatre, a new learning facility in the Diplomatic Academy building in London.
The new facility is named after Lady Cicely Mayhew, one of the first women to be appointed to the British Diplomatic Service. William met with three other children and her granddaughter who were there for the opening.

“Investing in the people who make up the diplomatic service is vital — and so I am pleased to be here to help mark the next step forward in that investment,” William said at the opening.

The theater is an innovative new space for learning and development built in a courtyard within the Foreign & Commonwealth Office.
The royal was greeted by Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt before visiting The Mayhew Theatre. He then met with contractors and architects who were involved in designing the building. The state-of-the-art technology within the theater allows staff to join sessions virtually from across the world.
On Tuesday, William and Kate will join Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for a special palace party hosted by the Queen in honor of Prince Charles.
