Living legend of aviation.

Has anyone else seen this?

Apparently instead of a serious astronaut being recognised, it’s going to Harry.

He was only a helicopter pilot for a short while surely not a living legend.

I have respect for anyone who masters the art of flying as I certainly wouldn’t be able to do it but to describe Harry as a living legend!

I wonder who puts him forward for these bizarre awards. Is he putting himself forward? Do you think he would turn it down if he realises that people think he’s ridiculous.

I suppose it’s on a par with new years honours where actors/singers get rewards for acting/singing, where ordinary people get ignored for working hard for genuine charities.

Grrr. I get so annoyed at this flummery.

What do you all think.

statement on the event’s website read: "Prince Harry is a humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate and environmentalist. He has dedicated his life to advancing causes that he is passionate about and that bring about permanent change for people and places."

Unless it's his own family,not humanitarian as regards them. He's a hypocrite of the first order. One wonders now, if after his terrible behaviour towards his family, his hatred of this country, said whilst in Afghanistan, if he only does it for self agrandisment.
