Prince Harry received the Pat Tillman Award for Service at ESPN's Espy Awards on Thursday, saying he accepted it 'as a voice of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel' who made them a reality.
'This award belongs to them, not to me,' said Harry, although he added that he welcomed the chance to highlight the resilience and achievements of Invictus participants and their families.
'Moments like these help us reach those that need Invictus most,' said the prince, the younger son of King Charles III who was accompanied by his wife, Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, at the sports awards ceremony in Los Angeles.
A former British army captain who served two tours of duty in Afghanistan, Harry launched the Invictus Games for wounded, injured or sick service personnel, those still serving as well as veterans.
