What do you like special about your dad, how he love us and like to be with us all of the time. What are his options? Oh here's dad😊😊😊

Invictus Games deserves this award well done Prince Harry.

[lauraragazzi]

I'm speechless as much as I'm disgusted. Harry is just shameless. He doesn't deserve this award. He insulted Mary Tillman and Pat Tillman's memory.

[willtatipease]

Even if they don't take too much oxygen they certainly is a waste of it. Serena Williams is not a good person, she is a good athlete but not a good person, I lost my respect for her by association. And THEY ARE NOT ROYALS!!!🤢🤮🤮

[AnT-wocb]

Thats way they left early and got booed and people yelling you are not Princess and go back to Britain

[kirbyhouse]

Pat Tillman award was a respectful award until tonight. A pair of narcissistic and shameless duo Harry and Meghan ruined it.

[trudyjager]

Harry did not deserve the award he received. He does nothing for others and spends his time dumping on his family and sueing anyone in sight. Another ridiculous award show.

[mariaw.]

Serena Williams has joined the losing team from henceforth: she should have known better than to support such a scandalous performance of prize-buying, and disrespect of Pat Tillman's memory and family. Harry got this on $250, 000 because he can--look it up. AND on top of this, he had no right to GASLIGHT Pat Tillman's mother in his speech. He'd have won back respect if he declined it then and there as a respect to Pat's mother's wishes. But, no: he'd bought the award and was going to stick to his and Meghan's agenda of fame-seeking, disrespect, ego, and no consideration for family.
