The Duke of Sussex strolled out on stage at the "Living Legends of Aviation" event in the Beverly Hills Hilton to receive the honor from actor , who draped a medallion necklace around Harry's neck. As you may have heard, Harry spent 10 years in the British military, ascending to the rank of Captain.
During his acceptance speech, Harry traveled back in time to Travolta's 1985 meeting with Diana at a White House dinner attended by then-President .
Harry said, “I was just a one-year-old when you danced with my mum at the White House and now look at us,” referring to Travolta.
