Prince Harry is navigating a challenging situation as he prepares to accept a significant honor in the US for his services. The Duke of Sussex is reportedly facing “complications” as he gets ready to receive the Pat Tillman Award on what is expected to be a “big night” in Los Angeles.
Royal expert Michael Cole has revealed that Harry is under pressure to reject the award, which is named after an American war hero. During a conversation with GB News hosts Nana Akua and Ben Leo, Cole suggested that the Duke should “discreetly” decline the award. However, he warned that any potential rejection now would face a key “complication.”
“If he was taking PR advice from me, he would discreetly and politely decline the award,” Cole advised. “Or, he would not go in person to collect it. But there is a complication, as the host of the evening is Serena Williams. Of course, we all know that she is a big pal of Meghan Markle’s. Whether he will be able to duck this out is uncertain.”
Harry is being honored for his work with the Invictus Games, a multi-sport competition for wounded, injured, and sick veterans. Despite the recognition, the decision to award Harry has sparked backlash.
“In America, they don’t like what Prince Harry did,” Cole noted. “They don’t like him disrespecting the late Queen and the royal family. They respected the late Queen very much. They see, quite rightly, that the King is our commander-in-chief as well as being the monarch.”
Admiral Lord West expressed that Harry accepting the award would generate “bad publicity.” He told the Daily Mail, “I really think Harry should be well advised to sit back and not accept awards like this. It doesn’t travel well with people in the military. And when the mother of the man who died doesn’t want him to get this award, he should think about that. My advice to him is to sit back and not accept any awards at the moment. They are going his way because he has such a high profile and people want to take advantage of that.”
A petition demanding the decision to award Harry be reversed has garnered more than 70,000 signatures. “The Duke of Sussex could make a surprising announcement to avoid being booed by Americans,” a source claimed. As the controversy unfolds, Prince Harry’s next steps will be closely watched, particularly how he handles this high-profile situation amid mounting criticism.
