Prince Harry was honored with the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPY Awards on Thursday, July 11
The Duke of Sussex, 39, attended the ceremony — which was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles — with Markle, 42. While the duo didn't walk the red carpet for the event, they were spotted sitting together during host Serena Williams' opening monologue.
Harry was on hand to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service, an honor bestowed upon an individual with a strong connection to sports who has helped others in a way that embodies Tillman’s legacy. Tillman was a safety for the Arizona Cardinals from 1998 to 2001 and was killed in combat while serving as a U.S. Army Ranger in Afghanistan in 2004.
Despite ESPN’s glowing assessment, Tillman’s mother, Mary Tillman, criticized the network’s choice of Harry for the award. She added: “These individuals do not have the money, resources, connections or privilege that Prince Harry has. I feel that those types of individuals should be recognized.
