Prince Harry is set to receive the Pat Tillman Award for his contributions to the Invictus Games at a grand ceremony in Los Angeles today. This honor, awarded by ESPN, has sparked debate, with a Change.org petition arguing that more deserving candidates exist.
Mary Tillman, mother of the late Pat Tillman, has expressed confusion over why the award is being given to such a “controversial and divisive” figure. Similarly, Lord Admiral Alan West, former head of the Royal Navy, has suggested that Prince Harry reconsider accepting the award.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon officials are hopeful that the Princess of Wales might make an appearance to present the tournament trophies. Following Queen Camilla’s visit to the Royal Box yesterday, where she enjoyed a brief respite, All England Club chair Debbie Jevans stated, “We’re hopeful that the Princess of Wales will be able to present the trophies as the Club’s patron, but her health and recovery are the priority.”
