ESPN’s Kate Jackson stated, “It’s our privilege to recognize three incredible individuals – Steve Gleason, Dawn Staley, and Prince Harry. These honorees have used their platforms to change the world and make it more inclusive for marginalized and suffering communities, demonstrating incredible resilience, positivity, and perseverance, and we’re thrilled to celebrate them at The 2024 ESPYS.”
Prince Harry, who is now based in Los Angeles with his wife Meghan and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, has accepted several high-profile awards in recent years. Earlier this year, he was named an inductee into the ‘Living Legends of Aviation’ and, in 2022, the Duke and Duchess were celebrated at the Ripple of Hope Awards for their work to battle racism and oppression.
Prince Harry will receive another honor next month, with Meghan’s close friend Serena Williams hosting the ESPYS.
