This is the moment Prince Harry was inducted into the ‘Living Legends of Aviation’ hall of fame as he paid tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana.
The 39-year-old was welcomed to the stage as “living legend, the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry” before being handed a medal by host John Travolta.
It is the first time he has been seen in public since news of Princess Kate’s abdominal surgery and King Charles’s enlarged prostate diagnosis emerged.
Harry completed two tours of Afghanistan where he served as an Apache helicopter pilot, rising to the rank of Captain.
Thanking Travolta – who famously danced with Diana at the White House in 1985 – the Duke said: “I was just a one-year-old when you danced with my mum at the White House and now look at us!

“The only thing left to do is… not dance together but fly together.”
The star-studded event in Beverly Hills, California was attended by a host of celebrities, including Jeff Bezos, Morgan Freeman and William Shatner. Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, was not present as she decided to stay at home.
Earlier in the night, the royal was pictured in a selfie with Germany’s Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, who captioned his post: “Congratulations To HRH Prince Harry for his VERY MUCH DESERVED Living Legends of Aviation Award.”
