The Sun’s Royal Editor, Matt Wilkinson said: “Harry’s getting this award for his service, but also for his work with Invictus Games.

“But his [Pat Tillman’s] mother [Mary Tillman] is incredible upset about this.

“How do we feel about this? Is it uncomfortable that he’s winning this award?”

Hugo replied: “I think it is a bit uncomfortable –  he doesn’t need to win an award.

“I think what he did with Invictus Games is brilliant – and I’m glad he’s still doing things for them. That’s very good.

“But the trouble is, it gets tied up with all this need for reinvention, publicity and things like that, which they’re always doing.”

Matt added: “With this award…[Pat’s] mother said he [Harry] shouldn’t have it.

“And there’s a question as to whether members of the Royal Family should be picking up awards like this. The Royal Family give out awards.”
