At the ESPY Awards 2024 held in Los Angeles, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a notable appearance. The Duke of Sussex was honored with the Pat Tillman Award for his work with the Invictus Games foundation, despite facing some controversy.

Critics voiced concerns over Harry accepting an award named after Pat Tillman, a decorated soldier and former NFL star known for his service in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some argued that Harry's acceptance garnered negative publicity, questioning whether he deserved such recognition.

The event, hosted by tennis legend Serena Williams at the Dolby Theatre, saw a lighthearted moment when Williams acknowledged Harry and Meghan's presence. Serena, a close friend of Meghan for over a decade, humorously commented on the royal couple's ability to attract attention.

"It's not every day I get to share a room with actual royalty, and tonight is no exception. Prince Harry and Meghan are here. Please, Harry and Meghan, try not to steal all the oxygen tonight, because this is my night," Serena quipped in good spirits.

"I wouldn't want accusations flying around that you two are hogging all the air, okay?" she added playfully.

The Daily Mirror characterized Serena's remarks as teasing towards Harry and Meghan, noting that the couple maintained awkward smiles following her comments.
