The Duke of Sussex accepted the Pat Tillman Award at the ESPYs on Thursday night. This was given to the royal by the sports channel ESPN, and it was a memorable occasion.
Reminiscent of her second wedding dress by Stella McCartney, Meghan Markle looked stunning in a cream silk custom Oscar de la Renta gown with an exquisite halterneck. She was there to support her husband.

She accessorized her evening ensemble with Celine shoes and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. The mother of two grabbed attention with her stunning appearance. She wore a chic updo and her makeup was flawless and radiant.
Harry received recognition for starting the Invictus Games ten years ago with the goal of helping sick and wounded service members—both active duty and veterans—manage both visible and invisible injuries.
A close friend of Meghan’s, host Serena Williams, acknowledged the couple by saying, “Prince Harry and Meghan are here.” Let’s surrender it to them.”
“But please, Harry and Meghan, try not to breathe too much tonight,” she quipped.
ESPN vice-president of production Kate Jackson made the following statement prior to the ceremony: “We are honored to honor Steve Gleason, Dawn Staley, and Prince Harry as three extraordinary people.

“These honourees have used their platforms to change the world and make it more inclusive for marginalised and suffering communities, demonstrating incredible resilience, positivity and perseverance, and we’re thrilled to celebrate them at the 2024 ESPYs.”
Harry’s “tireless work in making a positive impact for the veteran community through the power of sport” is the reason behind his honor, according to ESPN. The US Army Ranger and former NFL player Pat Tillman, who was killed in Afghanistan in 2004, is the inspiration behind the Pat Tillman Award for Service.
Meghan’s last public appearance
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were last sighted in public together during their three-day tour of Nigeria in May. Meghan, as usual, looked incredible in a string of eye-catching ensembles that solidified her standing among the other fashionable royals.

The outfit she wore on her third day out was one of our faves from that time.
When Harry and Meghan arrived at Ilupeju Senior Grammar School in Lagos, the mother-of-two dazzled spectators with a burberry heel, a crisp white shirt from Carolina Herrera, and a stunning wrap skirt made from traditional Aso-Oke fabric from Nigeria.
The Nigerian Diaspora Commission gifted the former Suits star the skirt the day before, and Meghan was fast to add the eye-catching piece to her closet.
