Prince Harry’s ‘shameless’ act leaves netizens shocked and angry

Prince Harry should decline controversial award, royal expert says

The Duke of Sussex is set to receive the Pat Tillman Service Award, named after the former NFL player who left his career for the US Army after 9/11 and was killed in 2004.

The announcement sparked strong reactions, including from Pat’s mother, Mary Tillman.

“I’m shocked why they chose such a controversial and divisive individual to receive this award,” Mary told the Daily Mail.

Richard Eden, editor of the Daily Mail, shared his views on the Palace Confidential podcast, suggesting that Harry should do the right thing and turn down the award.

“I think for once Harry needs to do his honour and say no, refuse. Harry should say, ‘You know what, actually I’m not going to accept this because the last thing the organisers of this event want is this kind of controversy,'” Eden said.

Eden continued: “This is a great award to honour someone who has put service before personal gain, and it is really not appropriate for Harry to receive it.”

“If he is a gentleman and has a sense of shame, he will not accept it,” he concluded.
