Prince Harry has been nominated for the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the ESPY Awards, but the decision has been met with a huge backlash, with even the late soldier's mother speaking out against it
Prince Harry is said to be "stunned" following a backlash about his nomination for the ESPY's Pat Tillman Award for Service, which recognises his work with the Invictus Games, it is reported.
Last week, his mother Mary revealed she wasn't consulted about Prince Harry receiving an award bearing her son's name.READ MORE - Prince Harry's 'deep regret' over decision he never thought would 'threaten his whole life plan' Richard Fitzwilliams, a Royal expert, also shared his thoughts, telling The Sun: "It's a very, very sad situation, and I think this is one of the reasons Mary Tillman, the mother of Pat, believes that Harry isn't fit, and that is a wasted opportunity. In my opinion, I think it's been a tragedy all round."
ESPN has chosen to honour Prince Harry for his "tireless work in making a positive impact for the veteran community through the power of sport". However, this decision has not been without controversy. The Telegraph reported that "anything relating to his military record and work with veterans, it is a particularly bitter pill to swallow, one source admitted".
