In his speech, he said: “I am proud to be recognised among such a dynamic and inspiring group of individuals.
“For me, flying has been a transcendent experience, a close encounter with magic, an invitation to both protect freedom… and to feel free – and, funny enough, an opportunity to ground oneself, without actually being grounded.
“I found my flight training – which was over the course of three years – to be one of life’s greatest lessons. In this lesson, it triggered a vast array of feelings. I remember the anticipation before my first solo flight in a Firefly. The disbelief that my instructor would dare to have the confidence in sending me up by myself. I remember feeling surprised and relieved when I returned to terra firma in one piece.”
The Duke of Sussex added: “Throughout each flight during my military career, the one constant was always trust. Trust in the aircraft, trust in my fellow comrades, trust in my many mentors, and above all else: trust in myself. Thank you again for this incredible honour.”
Now royal expert Angela Levin blasted Prince Harry after he failed to mention his family in Friday’s speech.
She said the snub was “deliberate” to “prove” that he is now independent and “doing well. Levin told the Sun: “He was cracking jokes the whole time and it seemed phoney.”
She added that Harry “could have been more serious and said he’s thinking of them.
Since then, it’s been reported that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have reached out to the Royal Family to wish them well.
A source told the Mirror: “The King and the Princess of Wales have received support from Prince Harry and Meghan regarding their health.
“The Duke and Duchess contacted both parties in different ways to pass on their concern and best wishes.”
