I didn't quite know where to post this since Harry no longer resides in the UK. Hopefully Charles will strip him of his title soon.

Prince Harry slammed for wearing four medals while honoring US servicewoman: ‘Pathetic’

Prince Harry has been hit with backlash for wearing four medals while presenting a prestigious “Soldier of the Year” award from his Montecito mansion.

The Duke of Sussex, who served in the UK armed forces for 10 years, appeared via Zoom on Thursday to present the award to US combat medic, Sergeant First Class Elizabeth Marks.

However, haters were distracted by Harry’s medals, which they claimed were any attempt to “create an illusion for the American market” and took attention away from the servicewoman being honored.

The prince pinned four medals to his chest: an Afghanistan campaign medal, a Golden Jubilee medal, a Diamond Jubilee medal and a Platinum Jubilee medal.

The first was presented to Harry for his military service in Afghanistan, while the other three were presented to him by Queen Elizabeth II.

“3 Jubilee medals… and a bunker service medal,” one snarked in a post on X.

“Good god, how pathetic,” another raged. “He needs someone to advise him on optics. The participation medals are a sad cry for ‘Looook at meeeeeeeee.'”

However, others jumped to the defense of the prince, saying his Afghanistan campaign medal was well deserved.

Harry undertook two tours of Afghanistan, first serving between 2007 and 2008, before returning for a second time in 2012. ............

Other than the one for Afghanistan, the others are for British notoriety and really had no place in honoring a U.S. servicewoman; so it was for show and to garner attention to himself.  Pathetic.

Did he leave off the potty training medal? 

It isn't as if people don't know who he is, nor what he has done, but jubilee medals seem to be milking those, and His Afghanistan service medal might have looked lonely.

It is a shame we hear all about Harry, but bloody little about Soldier of the Year Sargent First Class Marks, Combat Medic.
