Prince Harry has upset many Americans by ignoring their demands regarding an upcoming award. The Duke of Sussex is set to receive the Pat Tillman Memorial Award in Hollywood on July 11, but some Americans believe he is undeserving of the honor.
Pat Tillman left a successful career in the NFL to enlist as an Army Ranger in 2002, serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. His legacy is highly respected, and the decision to honor Prince Harry has sparked significant backlash, including public criticism from Tillman’s mother.
A petition urging the award organizers to reconsider their decision has gathered 70,000 signatures. The petition claims that Prince Harry’s past controversies raise questions about his suitability for such a prestigious award.
Despite the growing backlash, Prince Harry has not addressed the controversy in his latest statements. He was nominated for the award for founding the Invictus Games, a sporting event for wounded veterans.
However, he has remained silent on the criticism, focusing instead on the upcoming edition of the Invictus Games, set to take place in Canada in 2025.
There are warnings that Prince Harry may face booing at the public event, reflecting the strong opposition to his receiving the award.
