The 39-year-old son of Britain’s King Charles III will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the annual ceremony, ESPN announced Thursday.

The honor — named after Arizona Cardinals safety-turned-U.S. soldier Tillman, who was killed by friendly fire while serving in Iraq in 2004 — is given to “a person with a strong connection to sports who has served others in a way that echoes the legacy of the former NFL player.”

Harry, who served a decade in the British Armed Forces, co-created the Invictus Games, an international sports competition for wounded veterans and active-duty military personnel, in 2014.

The Invictus Games, ESPN said in a statement, have “evolved into a globally celebrated and acclaimed organization that celebrates resilience, community, and healing through the power of sport.”

“This one is for our entire service community,” Harry said of receiving the ESPYS award, according to ABC News.

This year’s ESPYS, hosted by Serena Williams, is scheduled to air on ABC on July 11.
