Prince Harry paid touching tribute to his late mother Princess Diana as he was inducted into an aviation Hall of Fame on Friday.
The Duke of Sussex was named a “living legend” before being honored for his time as a helicopter co-pilot within the British Army.
Harry attended the star-studded ceremony in Beverly Hills sans wife Meghan Markle.
After taking to the stage to receive his award from John Travolta, Harry recalled the actor’s picture-perfect moment in 1985 when he danced with Diana at President Ronald Reagan’s White House dinner.
“I used to be only a one-year-old once you danced with my mom on the White House and now have a look at us,” Harry, 39, told Travolta.
“The one thing left to do is… not dance together but fly together,” he added.
Travolta, who’s the “Official Ambassador of Aviation” and a former pilot himself, was reportedly the one who pushed for the exiled royal to be recognized for his stint within the Army.
After presenting Harry with a medal, Travolta asked him, “What are you able to remember about your first flight?”
“It’s classified,” Harry quipped.
Harry has 10 years of military experience under his belt and has accomplished two tours of Afghanistan where he flew in combat missions.
The royal, who rose to the rank of Captain during his time within the military, can also be the founding father of the Invictus Games, for which he was honored on the ceremony.
Harry’s name was called out amongst a slew of others, including Jeff Bezos, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Elon Musk, and Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman Al Saud.
Other space legends such as US Navy pilot Fred George and former world speed record holder Steve Hinton were also inducted.
Harry, who this week withdrew his libel case against the Mail on Sunday, seemingly enjoyed his evening out, as he was pictured taking a selfie with Prince Mario-Max Schaumburg-Lippe, 46, who’s a member of the Danish royal family.
Harry’s outing got here just days after it emerged that Kate Middleton had a planned abdominal surgery, which she’s going to now get well from for at the least two weeks.
News of the Princess of Wales’s medical procedure got here to light Wednesday in an official statement from Kensington Palace, who revealed that she has postponed all engagements until after Easter.
That very same day, Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles will undergo a “corrective procedure” for an enlarged prostate next week.
Harry and Meghan haven’t publicly commented on the news at the moment.
