British Royal Prince Harry, now residing in California with his wife Meghan Markle, made headlines as he attended a US soldier award ceremony on April 26. The event, captured by the UK Mirror, saw Harry donning his Army and Royal Family medals.
During the ceremony, Harry honored Sergeant First Class Elizabeth Marks, recipient of the Military Times’ Soldier of the Year award. Marks, who suffered significant injuries during her service in Iraq, received praise from Harry for her resilience and determination.
However, some netizens expressed criticism towards Harry’s choice to wear his medals during the event. On platforms like Reddit, comments emerged questioning why Harry was chosen for the presentation and suggesting the involvement of an American veteran instead.
While some labeled the video as ’embarrassing’ and Harry’s medals as ‘ridiculous’, others defended his actions, highlighting the significance of his connection to Marks through the Invictus Games.
Harry’s potential trip to England for the Invictus Games celebration, citing reasons such as legal issues and health concerns within the Royal Family.
In recent times, Harry has faced scrutiny for stepping down as a senior Royal and for his numerous TV appearances and documentaries critiquing other members of the Royal Family.
