Prince Harry is being honoured for his “tireless work making a positive impact for the veteran community through the power of sport” with his Invictus Games.
Prince Harry has been accused by one royal commentator of “leaving a life of service to chase fame in Hollywood”.
It comes as some people are furious over the Duke of Sussex’s recent award nomination.
The US-based royal has recently been honoured for his work in making a positive impact in the veteran community through the Invictus Games charity, which he founded in 2014.
Harry will receive a memorial award set up in the name of Pat Tillman – an American football player who gave up a £3million contract to enlist in the US Army after 9/11 and died by friendly fire.
Speaking on TalkTV, royal commentator Kinsey Schofield said: “This [Pat Tillman] was a man that truly lived a life of service which is what Harry and Megan promised us when they left the British Royal Family.
“In contrast, Harry left a life of service to chase fame, to chase money in Hollywood, so a lot of people are having a hard time putting these two men in the same category.”
She added: “I mean, I think that the Invictus Games is an incredible cause but it’s a cause, if we’re going to be honest, that was created under the Royal Family umbrella this is not Prince Harry’s and Prince Harry’s alone”.
