Prince Harry’s Nomination as ‘Living Legend’ Sparks Backlash from Military Experts

Lisa Sean Published January 14, 2024

The announcement that Prince Harry will be honored as a “living legend” in aviation at the upcoming 21st annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards has sparked controversy and drawn criticism from military experts. The awards ceremony, set to take place in Beverly Hills, aims to recognize individuals for their significant contributions to aviation and aerospace. Despite Prince Harry’s combat flights in Afghanistan, skeptics question whether his achievements warrant such a prestigious title.

Former Royal Navy Chief of Staff Lord Alan West expressed strong disapproval, stating that labeling Prince Harry as a “living legend” in aviation is “pathetic.” Lord West argued that the decision undermines the credibility of the award, suggesting that other deserving individuals within the aviation community were overlooked.

Retired Army Colonel Richard Kemp, who saw action in Afghanistan, echoed these sentiments, describing the award as part of a trend where celebrities “massage each other’s egos.” Kemp emphasized that many others who served in the British and American armed forces have undertaken extraordinary feats deserving of recognition, making Prince Harry’s selection questionable.

The prestigious awards ceremony, hosted by Hollywood actor and licensed pilot John Travolta, brings together luminaries in the aviation and aerospace industries. Past recipients include notable figures such as Buzz Aldrin, Jeff Bezos, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Elon Musk, and Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman Al Saud.

Critics argue that Prince Harry’s inclusion among these esteemed figures diminishes the credibility of the award, emphasizing that recognition should be based on merit rather than celebrity status.

The controversy surrounding Prince Harry’s nomination as a “living legend” in aviation highlights the tension between recognizing achievements and succumbing to celebrity influence. As the aviation community debates the appropriateness of the award, the upcoming ceremony will likely prompt further discussions on the criteria for honoring individuals in the industry.
