Prince Harry Receives Pat Tillman Award Amidst Scrutiny

Backlash Over Charitable Donations

Prince Harry was honored with the 2024 Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPYS event in Los Angeles on Thursday. However, the award has been met with backlash due to Harry's alleged failure to fulfill a promise made to the Tillman family to donate a portion of the Invictus Games' proceeds to their foundation.

Royal Family and ESPYS

Despite the controversy, Prince Harry attended the ESPYs with his wife, Meghan Markle. He accepted the award while acknowledging the criticism and stating that he remained committed to supporting the Armed Forces community.

Other Award Winners

Other notable award winners at the ESPYS included Steve Gleason, who received the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, Dawn Staley, who received the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance, and Retired Army Command Sergeant Major Gretchen Evans, the founder of Team UNBROKEN, an organization that supports veterans and civilians who have experienced trauma.
