Published

on

 

Tennis star Serena Williams playfully teased her friends Prince Harry and Meghan Markle while introducing the ESPY Awards, which celebrate sports achievements. During her energetic opening monologue, the 42-year-old Williams also touched on the Kendrick Lamar and Drake rap feud and criticized NFL player Harrison Butker for his remarks encouraging women to embrace traditional homemaker roles, the Independent reported.

 

 


The event was held on Thursday, July 11, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

“Prince Harry and Meghan are here, let’s give it up for them,” said Williams as she opened her speech.

“But please, Harry and Meghan, try not to breathe too much tonight. Because this is my night and I don’t want to be overshadowed by accusations you guys are taking up too much oxygen.”

Harry and Meghan appeared to take the joke in stride, clapping and smiling. The remark seemed to reference their ongoing absence from public and family events amid claims that their presence could be distracting.

At the glittering ceremony in Los Angeles, the estranged prince accepted the Pat Tillman Award for veterans, recognizing his work with the Invictus Games, an initiative celebrating the sporting achievements of wounded, sick, or injured service members.

However, ESPN’s decision to honour the 39-year-old Duke of Sussex was controversial, with tens of thousands signing a petition arguing there were more deserving recipients.

Mary Tillman, the mother of the late veteran after whom the award is named, expressed her confusion, calling Harry a “controversial and divisive” figure.

While accepting the award, Harry praised Mary Tillman and paid tribute to his mother, the late Princess Diana, telling the audience that “the bond between a mother and son is eternal.”

Prince George Had a Very Special Nickname for Queen ElizabethInStyleAdCelebrityPrince GeorgePrince George Had a Very Special Nickname for Queen ElizabethHe was the only royal great-grandchild that got to use it.By Staff Author Published on October 28, 2024 @ 02:12PMQueen Elizabeth II attending the Queen’s Body Guard for ScotlandPhoto: Jane Barlow/WPA Pool/Getty ImagesPrince George’s arrival in 2013 made history in more ways than one: the British throne got a new heir and Queen Elizabeth helped revise the laws that governed the line of succession—she made it so that regardless of Prince William and Kate Middleton welcoming a son or daughter, the new arrival would be able to take the throne ahead of their siblings. That royal shift apparently cemented a very special bond between Prince George and his great-grandmother, as he eventually gave her a sweet nickname that nobody else was allowed to use.George is only 2-and-a-half and calls her ‘gan-gan.’ She always leaves a little gift or something in their room when we go and stay and that just shows, I think, her love for her family,” Middleton explained in Elizabeth at 90: A Family Tribute, a BBC documentary about the queen that aired in 2016.In a special Christmas message that the late queen gave after George’s arrivaal, she paid tribute to the future monarch, saying: “Here at home my own family is a little larger this Christmas. As so many of you will know, the arrival of a baby gives everyone the chance to contemplate the future with renewed happiness and hope.”
