Prince Harry’s Aviation Award Questioned by Biographer Angela Levin

Angela Levin, a renowned journalist with an impressive career spanning The Observer, Daily Mail, Mail on Sunday, and The Daily Telegraph, as well as being the author of numerous royal books, including Prince Harry's biography, has expressed her doubts about Harry's upcoming award.

Prince Harry is set to be recognized at the 21st Annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards, along with three other distinguished gentlemen, for their significant contributions to aviation and aerospace.

During Levin's recent appearance on GB News, she shared her perspective with TV presenter Mark Dolan, stating that Prince Harry had only spent 20 weeks in Afghanistan and was merely a companion in the plane, not the one making all the decisions.

Levin further questioned the legitimacy of the award, suggesting that it may be an organization that requires payment in exchange for receiving the honor.

She drew a parallel to Meghan's achievements, mentioning that she has received recognition in various places, despite doubts about her accomplishments.

Levin acknowledged Meghan as an inspiration to women and young girls worldwide but expressed skepticism about the basis for her awards.

Dolan mentioned that they had reached out to Archwell, the organization representing the Sussexes, and they denied any involvement of money in relation to the awards.

Dolan quoted Archwell's response, stating that “it's categorically untrue that any money changed hands in relation to these awards.”

However, a screenshot of the Living Legends of Aviation page on Wikipedia was shared by a former user, suggesting that the award may be a paid-for honor celebrating achievements in the aerospace industry.

This revelation raised further doubts among netizens.

Another point of contention regarding Prince Harry's award is the claim that he did not pass his theoretical exam.

This allegation led to a Change.org petition initiated by LadyCatSW, urging a reconsideration of Prince Harry for the Living Legends award.

However, this information has been proven inaccurate.

Members from Prince Harry's platoon and his commander have attested that he did not engage in combat flying at any time.

The petition's misrepresentation of facts not only undermines the truth but also disrespects those who genuinely meet the qualifications for such awards through their daily acts of valor and service to their countries.

The petition emphasizes that awards should be granted based on merit and accurate representation, rather than status or title.

By rewarding individuals with false credentials, the true heroes who risk their lives every day in service to their nations are being overlooked and diminished.

The petition calls on Living Legends of Aviation to reconsider their decision and urges a more appropriate recognition of real heroes based on their actions rather than their titles or perceived actions.

It invites readers to sign the petition if they agree that genuine valor should be acknowledged accurately.

Adding to the controversy surrounding Prince Harry's recent award, it was reported that he was excluded from a new books list featuring the top 200 military alumni from Sandhurst.

Vaughan Kent-Payne's latest book, “They Also Served,” showcases the most notable graduates from the military academy, including Winston Churchill, Muthala Mohammed (former Nigerian President), David Niven (Oscar-winning actor), and Prince William.

Interestingly, Prince Charles contributed the foreword to the book.
