Prince Harry breaks silence with emotional message amid backlash over controversial award
Prince Harry has spoken out for the first time since it was revealed he will be receiving the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPY Awards tonight by sending a message to both serving military personnel and veterans

Prince Harry has sent a message to both serving military personnel and veterans just a day before he is set to receive a controversial award.

Tomorrow night, the Duke of Sussex will be given the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPY sports awards in the US. He is being recognised for founding the Invictus Games a decade ago to support injured and sick servicemen and women, both on active duty and veterans, who are navigating physical and invisible injuries – but has faced backlash being named as this year’s recipient. However, ahead of tonight’s awards, Harry has spoken out for the first time by hailing wounded, injured and sick serving UK personnel and veterans who are to take part in the first Invictus Games to include winter sports.
