The award ceremony was hosted by Meghan’s close friend Serena Williams.
According to the New York Post, a visibly emotional, Archie and Lilibet doting father was introduced by veterans and past Tillman Award winners
In his speech, Prince Harry says, “I stand here not as Prince Harry, Pat Tillman Award recipient, but rather a voice on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel from over 20 nations who have made the Invictus Games a reality.
“This award belongs to them, not to me,” said Harry.
The Duke also paid tribute to his ‘eternal bond’ with Princess Diana as he addressed Pat Tillman’s mother while accepting her son’s namesake award at the ESPY’s.
