Four in Ten Americans Against Prince Harry’s Reward

The Duke of Sussex, 39, was recently awarded the honour for his work with the Invictus Games, despite an intense backlash to his reception, which saw tens of thousands of people sign a petition against it.

The late Mr. Tillman’s mother, Mary, also disagreed with the choice and said she did not understand why the veterans award was given to such a “controversial and divisive” individual.

But a new poll by Redfield and Wilton found that only 21 percent of Americans supported Harry receiving the award, while 41 percent said they “didn’t know” what they thought about it.

This left just 38 percent of the 1,500 people surveyed who agreed with the decision to award the Duke the honour.

The award is reserved for veterans who have made an impact through sports, similar to the late Pat Tillman, who gave up his professional football career to serve in the aftermath of 9/11.
