Prince Harry, who adorned a classy suit, started his presentation off by joking around with the audience about the U.S. taking the English sport rugby and turning it into football. He then spoke about the NFL’s impact on many people worldwide and did not mention King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis during his speech.

When the public saw Prince Harry at the prestigious ceremony, many had mixed reactions. Some thought the Prince attending an event so soon after visiting his dad amid his health ailment was inappropriate.
In this regard, one person said, “Oh that’s why he left Britain so fast, he had more important things to do than to stay with his sick father. He is a disgrace to the RF and Britain!” Similarly, another commented, “So selfish.” “What an embarrassment 🤦🏽♀️😂,” added another social media user.

However, there were other people who complimented him. One fan wrote, “I love him […] He’s an honest man who takes up for his family. Even though they’re all having problems [it] doesn’t mean he doesn’t love them.” Another praised, “The people’s Prince!”
Someone else gushed, “This is so amazing. I’m so happy Prince Harry is so loved in the U.S. and has found a home.” Another fan swooned, “Congrats to all, and [it’s] amazing that Prince Harry, the living legend, presented this award!”
Prince Harry’s outing comes after his brother, Prince William, attended a charity gala dinner where he briefly touched on the King of England and Princess Catherine’s health situations for the first time. The Prince of Wales also thanked everyone for their heartwarming and supportive messages.
