Meghan Markle and Prince Harry didn’t let their disastrous looks at the 2024 ESPY’s ruin their night. Meghan and Harry appeared to have a great outing, supporting their good friend, Serena Williams, who hosted the award ceremony. The tennis player even joked about their appearance in her opening monologue. Talking about their rare outing, she said (via People), “But please, Harry and Meghan, try not to breathe too much tonight. Because this is my night, and I don’t want to be overshadowed by the accusations that you guys are taking up too much oxygen, okay?” The camera then cut to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who laughed at the playful jab.
Later in the night, Harry received the Pat Tillman Award for Service for his work with veterans and the creation of the Invictus Games, which “offers a recovery pathway for international wounded, injured and sick servicemen and women,” according to the official website. During his speech, Harry said, “The truth is, I stand here not as Prince Harry, Pat Tillman Award recipient, but rather a voice on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel from over 20 nations who have made the Invictus Games a reality.” He continued, “This award belongs to them, not to me.” Overall, it seems like the Duke and Duchess had a pretty good night at the ESPY’s, even if their looks told a different story.
