‘He is a divisive, controversial figure’: Petition launched to rescind Prince Harry award
Sky News host Rita Panahi says a petition has already been launched to demand ESPN rescind the honour given to Prince Harry.
The Duke of Sussex is set to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service, created in honour of NFL player-turned-US Army Ranger Pat Tillman, who joined the military after the 9/11 attacks.
Mr Tillman’s mother, Mary Tillman, over the weekend spoke out on the issue, saying she was “shocked” by the decision to give Prince Harry the award.
“Not only is he a divisive, controversial figure, but what has he done to deserve such an honour? You would think there would be so many more worthy people who would be better suited to take this award,” Ms Panahi said.
