The Duke of Sussex was confirmed for the awards on Thursday, where he will appear alongside the likes of Morgan Freeman, John Travolta and multiple NASA astronauts.The awards, held on April 25 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, honours those who have made a significant contribution to aviation and aerospace and is in its 22nd year.Actor Travolta will host the awards while Prince Harry, Morgan Freeman and other members are set to honour the aerial teams behind firefighting efforts in LA earlier this year.Organisers say: ‘This memorable segment will pay special tribute to all the men and women who were involved in the aerial operations as they flew hundreds of missions in unforgiving conditions to protect and save people and property.’It comes after Harry took a two-day trip to the UK last week amid an ongoing court case which centres on his level of protection when he visits his home country.Harry was at the Royal Courts of Justice in London last week for the latest stage of a legal battle with the Home Office over the level of taxpayer-funded personal security he should receive when visiting the UK.In February 2020, the Executive Committee for the Protection of Royalty and Public Figures (Ravec) decided he should receive a different degree of protection when in the country, and he is appealing against a High Court ruling dismissing his case against the Home Office over the decision last year. The Duke of Sussex (pictured with wife Meghan) was confirmed for the awards on Thursday, where he will appear alongside the likes of Morgan Freeman , John Travolta and multiple NASA astronauts Prince Harry was inducted as a living legend of aviation himself at last year’s ceremony (Pictured: Prince Harry at the 2024 awards alongside Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe)Harry has previously said he faces a greater risk than his late mother, with ‘additional layers of racism and extremism’.He believes his family faces an ‘international threat’ and has already highlighted that al Qaida had called for him to be killed.He is not believed to have seen his father King Charles during the flying visit before returning to his home in Montecito, California.The event next Friday will see three new members become ‘living legends of aviation’ – former NASA astronaut and Navy SEAL Christopher Cassidy, decorated Navy fighter pilot Robert Gibson and Emmy award-winning NBC News correspondent Tom Costello. The Polaris Dawn Crew will also receive the inaugural Dr Buzz Aldrin Space Advancement Award for their historic space mission.The annual ceremony will see a series of other awards handed to some of the leading technology and business figures in the aviation industry. Prince Harry was inducted as a living legend of aviation at the 2024 ceremony, alongside Fred George, Steve Hinton and Marc Parent.Organisers praised his decade of service in the British Army, which included tours of Afghanistan, as well as his humanitarian work and patronage of charities. Harry was at the Royal Courts of Justice in London last week for the latest stage of a legal battle with the Home Office over the level of taxpayer-funded personal security he should receive when visiting the UK Prince Seeiso of Lesotho and Prince Harry, patrons of the Sentebale charity, pictured at a children’s centre in Lesotho in October 2024This year’s ceremony comes at a difficult time for the Prince, who is not only fighting a legal battle in the UK, but is also facing a charity commission probe.Harry founded Sentebale in honour of his mother Diana, Princess of Wales in 2006 with Prince Seeiso Of Lesotho to help young people and children in southern Africa, particularly those living with HIV and AIDS.However, both Princes stepped down from their roles at the charity last month after a string of allegations from the charity’s chairman Sophie Chandauka emerged. Earlier this month Harry accused Chandauka of telling ‘blatant lies’ as Britain’s charities watchdog launched an investigation into ‘concerns’ about how the charity he set up in his mother’s memory has been run.The Charity Commission opened a regulatory compliance case a week after Harry quit as a patron and demanded the resignation of Chandauka.She refused, took legal action to remain in post and reported her concerns to the Charity Commission, who responded by announcing an investigation.The Duke Of Sussex has spoken out about the bitter boardroom battle for control and said he believes the truth about their deepening rift will be ‘unveiled’.Harry said: ‘What has transpired over the last week has been heartbreaking to witness, especially when such blatant lies hurt those who have invested decades in this shared goal. No one suffers more than the beneficiaries of Sentebale itself.’
