Prince Harry is set to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPYs, it was announced Thursday. The Duke of Sussex, 39, and former NFL safety Steve Gleason were announced as the recipients of the esteemed Arthur Ashe Award for Courage and the Pat Tillman Award for Service, respectively, at the July 11 ceremony.
The announcement raised many eyebrows, including those of the late hero’s mom, Mary Tillman, who criticized ESPN and Prince Harry is reportedly feeling “sad” over the mass backlash he’s received after being named the recipient of the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPYs.The father of two soon found himself at the center of controversy, and former royal butler Grant Harrold believes that he is now mulling over his options.
Harrold said that Harry is no doubt “feeling quite sad about it,” adding that the Duke — who quit royal life in 2020 — is “one of the most caring, kindest and most gentle people you could ever meet.”“He’d never want to cause any upset,” Harrold said. “If he thinks that it is going to cause upset, then it is quite likely that he could decline the award… because he’d never want to cause any upset and it would affect him hearing about the backlash.
“Harry is somebody who has been seen to act in service,” Harrold said. “He’s somebody that has served his country, he is obviously a senior member of the royal family albeit not a working member.”
