Outrage Explodes As Prince Harry Becomes ‘Legend Of Aviation’ With Real Heroes
Whatever happened to Prince Harry claiming that he wants privacy and security above all to protect his family?
In what seems like a completely reversal, the Duke of Sussex just paid for a press release announcing that he will become a “Legend Of Aviation” next to true heroes and legends Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin, per Reddit.
And rumors soared that Prince Harry also paid for what seems like a participation award in the world of aviation after flying a helicopter. But outrage has exploded at the news that a glamorous Beverly Hills ceremony will feature the Duke of Sussex becoming named a “Legend of Aviation” along with Armstrong and Aldrin. As one social media critic questioned, “Is this a joke?”

And with John Travolta as the host, the Duke of Sussex will receive his award at what actor Morgan Freeman described as the Oscars of aviation. However, Prince Harry received the recognition ahead of Charles Duke, who became the youngest person to walk on the moon in 1972 at age 36.
Social Media Slams Prince Harry
However, Reddit and Twitter (now known as X) both filled up with angry critics slamming Harry. For instance, one commentator wrote, “I look forward to every other military pilot in the world being given the same award based on his accomplishments in that field.”
And another questioned, “Is this a joke? What is the legendary stuff that he has done? I am asking seriously! What the heck has he done?”

The ceremony originated in 2003 to pay tribute to those who contribute significantly to aerospace and aviation. And the Duke of Sussex did complete two tours of Afghanistan as a forward air controller and an Apache helicopter pilot. He also served for 10 years in the military, achieving the rank of Captain.
Meanwhile, a Change.org petition seeks to take away the honor. And it reads: “Request Living Legends of Aviation to Reconsider Award for Prince Harry.” Those who feel Harry doesn’t deserve the award can still sign it.
But at this point, the award event plans to allow Harry to join aviation and aerospace legends Aldrin, Jeff Bezos, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Elon Musk and Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman Al Saud. However, the event publicity praised the Duke of Sussex for his work with charities. And the PR stated, “Prince Harry is a humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate and environmentalist.”
Meanwhile, the organization did offer a way to nominate someone (or yourself) as a Living Legend of Aviation. However, conspiracy theories soared after that page mysteriously vanished in the wake of the backlash and outrage.

What a joke. He deserves no recognition.
So, does this mean anyone with money can get this reward. This is insulting to all our heroes and real stars. Harry is a disgrace to all heroes and our institutions.harry is certainly no hero(so many of our service people that have done so much more in real life. This is just wrong and harry should be a man and admit he does not deserve to be put in the same category of real heros.
Yea he’s entitled to be in the awards for aviation. He counts. He served with The British navy and American army. Served his country. Sacrificed his life. It’s not about how prestigeious you are it is really all about accountability, . He’s there for all veterans who served in many branches of service. How many women or men in the different branches of services multitasked everyday to keep freedom only to known as a Peace keeper. Give me a break on that he not entitled. He counts too.
Even the prospect of a nomination is ludicrous. This “award” was DONATION BOUGHT, NOT EARNED.. SHAME ON Travolta over all this, because of a dance with Princess Diana 30yrs ago.
I hope this is REVOLKED
