Prince Harry and Meghan Markle attend ESPY Awards
Prince Harry, 39, and Meghan Markle radiated the vibe of a stylish Hollywood couple at the ceremony, smiling brightly for the cameras as they were cheered on by their close friend Serena Williams, as per Daily Mail.
While all attention was on Harry during his award acceptance, royal watchers were buzzing on social media about another hot topic: Meghan's stunning halterneck gown and its striking resemblance to her 2018 reception dress.
At first glance, the two gowns appear nearly identical, both featuring a high-neck halter design and a flowing skirt. However, Meghan’s ESPY dress included draped fabric around the neck, while her Stella McCartney wedding gown had a more fitted silhouette.
Inside the ceremony, photos captured Meghan sitting proudly beside Harry, resting her hand on his knee with a beaming smile, as per Daily Mail.
When Harry's award was announced, Meghan stood up to give him a standing ovation, clapping enthusiastically as he made his way to the stage.
Prince Harry’s nomination for the Pat Tillman Award sparks controversy
The award, named after the legendary NFL player who left his lucrative career to join the army after 9/11 and died in Afghanistan in 2004, has ignited a fierce controversy. Critics argue that the honor should go to unsung veterans instead.
Tillman's mother, Mary, expressed her surprise last month, stating she was "shocked" that the ESPYs would choose such a controversial figure for the award and revealed that she was not consulted about the decision.
She asserted, “There are recipients that are far more fitting. There are individuals working in the veteran community that are doing tremendous things to assist veterans.”
“These individuals do not have the money, resources, connections or privilege that Prince Harry has. I feel that those types of individuals should be recognized” she concluded.
Internet divided after Prince Harry receives Pat Tillman Award
Prince Harry's Pat Tillman Award sparked discussions among internet users while some focused on Meghan Markle's appearance in a white bridal dress.
One user congratulated, "Awesome couple. We love you Harry and Meghan. Congratulations on the award Harry."
Another user slammed, "Time to remove their titles, they are not fulfilling the duties of a Prince and Princess so they are not entitled to them. They have brought disgrace to the Royal family."
A user added, "Harry should be embarrassed at receiving this award. He should have , behind the scene, politely requested someone else should be awarded it. However I'm sure Meghan would have been pushing for him to take it do she could share the reflected glory and limelight. Unfortunately Harry is just another one of her "accessories"."
Someone else criticized Harry for receiving the award, "Unbelievable amount of disrespect shown towards Tillman, giving that coward an award in his name."
One individual claimed, "Commonsense would have told him to decline the award out of respect for pat tillmans mother who did not approve the award going to him, but of someone more deserving."
