I am sure there are people in California that would pay for a ticket/be a sponsor to be in the same room as the people.

+1! The mental gymnastics in this thread trying to rationalize anyone but Harry receiving this award when he’s the reason why we all know about it - lol.

Exactly. He is the draw. Thus he is helping a good cause. Of course no one will give him that credit.

Nobody cares about the award or the organization. The only upside here is for the organization, it's not going to be a "game changer" for the couple, despite what the OP says. That's what people are discussing.

It appears you don’t really understand how these things work. You create an image of yourself as a hero or at least someone who should be honored and then continually put it out there and eventually it sticks. That’s the whole point.

Not likely. But are you suggesting that they just give up? That they don’t try to improve their image?

That's for them to figure out. We're just commenting on this latest attempt. Is this going to do it? Probably not!

Lauren Sanchez is also an honoree. Another legend among American women aviators--who knew?!

Lauren actually has licenses and can fly helicopters. Like William. Not like perennial swirling in the bowl #2 Harry.

Aww, maybe next year Harry will nominate Willy.

Celebrities do these things for their image and donations for tax write offs. They need these charities as much as charities need them.

This feels like a game changer for them. This could help their image overall.

Here is the newsweek article
https://www.newsweek.com/prince-harry-meghan-markle-celebrity-fight-back-awards-1859703

Well, royals and celebrities get all sort of unearned awards and accolades all the time, why is this a game changer? Harry probably has dozens of those in his storage.

Royals really do love an unearned award.

Who are the 2 clowns next to Anne?

The one in the middle is Prince Edward who did ROTC-type stuff in college but never actually served.

Do you mean that you think they will somehow profit as a result of him being honored?

Don't forget the "draw" of Ms. Lauren Sanchez. Can't wait to see her award winning outfit! Classy award!

The red white and blue ribbon cracks me up. My kid has “participant” medals like that.
