Prince Harry dons medals to present Forces award remotely from back door of Montecito mansion

Prince Harry donned his military medals to record a video of himself presenting a military award to a soldier from the back door of his California home.
The Duke of Sussex paid tribute to his friend Sergeant First Class Elizabeth Marks, who he described as a “beacon of inspiration”.
He first met SFC Marks at the 2016 Invictus Games in Orlando and said he was “honoured” to call her his friend.
The five-time Paralympic medalist, 33, suffered bilateral hip injuries whilst serving in Iraq in 2010. Her left leg has since been amputated below the knee.
She was named a Soldier of the Year at an award ceremony hosted by the Military Times.

He's not wearing the medal King Charles III gave to him at his coronation, which is a huge insult to king and country. Knowing this, Prince Willaim would be wise to not invite and bemedal this man at his own coronation.

[@patriciaberry8936]

He's a hero, yeah right. He was nothing in the service, Bunker Harry was in the bunker playing his Game boy. HE was protected because he was a Prince. He was dead wait in the service. All he did was go an come back doing nothing. I never heard such lying going on when he was in the service. Not one thing did he do.

[@kallekas8551]

Was thinking the same thing…😂

[@hlexnc]

His military service and deployment locations were classified for clear reasons. However, he discussed his experiences in the military in his book, which was quite intriguing. He was eager to serve and continue his service, but he spent most of his time sidelined. Please look into this a bit more.

[@mythoughts7755]

He is not my Prince!! He should have the Prince title removed IMO - I am a UK citizen and do not recognise him as a Prince of my country - he is simply Henry Windsor and should be addressed as such. I'm annoyed that they are having a 10 year anniversary at St Paul's for Invictus on May 10th - that got in very quietly -a biannual event means there have been a maximum of 5 GAMES - how does that justify an anniversary event at St Paul's - more tax payers money wasted on security etc!!

[@aletheamcfarlane1977]

Congratulations to SFC Elizabeth Marks, who I'm sure deserves better than having a former working royal prince award her medal from outside his kitchen door. Somewhat reminiscent of Harry's announcement of the birth of his son, incongruously outside the stables. This man has no sense of place or appropriate conduct.
