The decision to honour Prince Harry at the ESPY sports awards this month has triggered major backlash, with some even calling for it to be rescinded.

The Duke of Sussex has been nominated for a major gong at the ESPY award ceremony in Los Angeles this month for his work with the Invictus Games , however not everyone is thrilled with the announcement.

The Duke of Sussex is set to receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service. Picture: Chris Jackson / Getty Images for Invictus Games Foundation Tillman was tragically killed in action in Afghanistan in 2004 and was posthumously awarded the Silver Star and Purple Heart medals. “The fact is, this award is going to Harry … I am going with the detractors,” she told the Royal Report.

Ms Mollard then suggested some awards could be after extra publicity in bestowing an honour on the Duke.
