With a surprise appearance shortly after his trip to England, Prince Harry caused a stir at the “NFL Honors” in Las Vegas.
Prince Harry, 39, made an appearance in Las Vegas shortly after his trip to Great Britain. And according to US media reports, this caused surprised faces. As reported by “Entertainment Tonight”, among others, the Duke of Sussex was a guest at this year’s “NFL Honors” gala, which took place on February 8, 2024 at the Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas.
Prince Harry presents the prize: NFL star Cameron Heyward reacts in shock
There he presented the “Walter Payton Man of the Year Award” to Cameron Heyward, 34, of the Pittsburgh Steelers. When presenting the award, Prince Harry addressed the NFL players in the audience, according to “Entertainment Tonight” and said: “What you do on and off the field is truly remarkable. You are role models for millions of people as a result how you behave and how you give back.”
He then honored Heyward with the award. The NFL star was celebrated for his social commitment. As part of the award, he received $250,000 to donate to a charity of his choice. The 34-year-old was apparently thrilled that Prince Harry presented him with the award. “Man, Prince Harry! I’m in shock. That’s Prince Harry!” Heyward shouted as he took the stage. Harry couldn’t help but laugh.
Harry was only in London for a short time
Shortly before his appearance at the gala, Prince Harry was in his British homeland. He came to London earlier this week to visit his father King Charles, 75. The Duke of Sussex had to fly for over ten hours to see the monarch after his cancer diagnosis. However, it seemed as if he had received a cold shoulder instead of open arms.
In any case, British media such as “Daily Mail” reported that the meeting between Harry and Charles lasted only half an hour to a maximum of 45 minutes. Shortly afterwards, the royal couple said goodbye to the country estate in Sandringham – and Prince Harry traveled back to the USA.
