Prince Harry gets an ESPY! Duke of Sussex to be handed 'Pat Tillman Award for Service' at glitzy LA bash hosted by Serena Williams

Prince Harry will be honored with the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2024 ESPYS, which take place next month and will be hosted by Serena Williams.

The award is 'given to a person with a strong connection to sports who has served others in a way that echoes the legacy of the former NFL player and U.S. Army Ranger, Pat Tillman,' according to ESPN.

The Duke of Sussex is receiving the award 'in honor of his tireless work in making a positive impact for the veteran community through the power of sport.'

Former NFL safety Steve Gleason, who has been battling ALS since 2011, will receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage, while legendary basketball coach Dawn Staley will receive the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance.

Prince Harry served in the British army for a decade before founding the Invictus Games.

Now in their 10th year, the Games see wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women - both serving and veterans - compete across different sports.

According to ESPN, The Invictus Games 'have transcended borders and impacted lives across every continent, bringing together competitors from 23 nations, with continued support and programming 365 days of the year.' 

Last year, the award was given to the Buffalo Bills Training Staff after they saved the life of Damar Hamlin, who suffered a cardiac arrest on the field only to make a miraculous return to the NFL.
