“Harry also inspects his medal before he starts his speech, with a ‘this is nice’ as he looks down at it.”
During his 10 years serving in the military, Harry completed two tours of Afghanistan as a forward air controller and an Apache helicopter pilot and rose through the ranks to Captain.
But despite completing tours and countless training missions, the Duke’s award nomination has angered some military pilots who felt it was unearned.
