Meghan Markle ‘furious’ over comments about Prince Harry’s Pat Tillman award

Recently, Meghan Markle has expressed her frustration over the backlash Prince Harry has faced after being announced as the recipient of the 2024 Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPY Awards. This prestigious honor, named after the late NFL player and Army Ranger Pat Tillman, recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to society through sports.

Prince Harry was chosen for his work with the Invictus Games Foundation, which he founded to support wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women by providing them opportunities to participate in sports. His decade-long dedication to the veteran community has been widely celebrated, making him a fitting choice for this award​.

Despite the commendation, some have criticized the decision, with Pat Tillman’s mother expressing surprise at Harry’s selection, believing the award should go to someone more directly involved in military service in the United States​​. Meghan has reportedly urged the public and media to respect Harry’s efforts and the positive impact of his work, highlighting his genuine commitment to helping veterans worldwide.

The ESPY Awards, hosted by Serena Williams, will take place on July 11, 2024, and will also honor other notable figures such as Steve Gleason and Dawn Staley for their contributions to sports and society​​.
