Prince Harry's latest nomination for an award honoring American veteran Pat Tillman has caused quite the stir on both sides of the Atlantic. The former royal turned Hollywood podcaster was nominated for the Pat Tillman Award for Service at this year's ESPY awards. On the surface, this sounds like a great honor for Harry and his attempts to forge a new purpose-driven life after stepping back from senior royal duties. However, as with many things involving Prince Harry these days, the nomination is not without controversy.

For those unfamiliar, the Pat Tillman Award is named after the former NFL player who left behind a multimillion dollar contract to join the US Army in the wake of 9/11. Tragically, Tillman lost his life in Afghanistan in 2004 while serving his country. The award is meant to honor those who have made significant contributions and sacrifices through military service. Harry's nomination is raising eyebrows because many feel his service and post-royal endeavors do not truly measure up to Tillman's level of sacrifice.

The objections to Harry being considered for this award come from some surprising corners. Military bigwigs like former First Sea Lord Admiral Lord Alan West have voiced strong disapproval. In fact, Lord West sent an eight-word warning to Harry - "he ought to think very hard and long" about accepting such an honor. Ouch, that's got to sting. Even Pat Tillman's own mother Mary has expressed shock that Harry would be nominated when there are far more deserving recipients. When the family of the award's namesake doesn't think you deserve it, yikes.

The anger isn't just coming from patriotic military figures either. Many see ESPN's decision to nominate Harry as a blatant ratings ploy that disrespects Tillman's memory and legacy. Why honor an unknown soldier who gave everything when you can guarantee headlines by throwing a prince into the mix? It's a cynical publicity stunt that reduces a prestigious award down to a meaningless participation trophy.

Harry clearly wants to be viewed as a brave, sacrificial figure following in his military footsteps. However, his actual service pales in comparison to what Tillman gave up. While Harry may have faced danger, he did so with the comforts of wealth and privilege still intact. Meanwhile, he lives a lavish lifestyle in Montecito with Netflix deals and Spotify pods. Harry can't have it both ways - playing the victimized royal exiled from his homeland while simultaneously soaking up the perks of fame and accolades. True heroes don't constantly complain about their lot in life.

Many see this latest controversy as emblematic of Harry's post-royal journey so far. He had a chance to make a meaningful difference using his platform, connections and name recognition. But instead of serving as a bridge, he has alienated his family and country. Harry seems to mistake attention for admiration. While his Antics make for an entertaining royal car crash to watch unfold, they serve as a cautionary tale. Fame, wealth and freedom aren't enough if you lack real substance and purpose. Dreams of liberation can quickly turn sour if not grounded in responsibility.

For the rest of us, we'll be on the sidelines continuing to observe this saga with a mix of bewilderment and secondhand embarrassment. But there's also an important lesson in Harry's spectacle. Be careful what you wish for - the grass is rarely greener on the other side of the fence. Sacrificing duty for adulation may seem like an upgrade, until one day you wake up and realize you've traded in your substance for empty notoriety. Hopefully Harry figures this out before his story becomes a complete tragedy. For now, we can only watch with raised eyebrows as this royal affair unfolds into a cautionary tale of its own.
