The recent news of Prince Harry’s induction as a living legend of aviation, alongside esteemed individuals like Buzz Aldrin, has ignited a fierce debate and garnered various reactions online.

Social media users have expressed skepticism and confusion regarding Prince Harry’s accomplishments in the aviation field that supposedly merit such recognition.

One user took to social media to express their doubts, stating, “The Sussexes team must spend all day phoning and begging people to give them rewards.

Must be costing them.

Astronauts Lindbergh, the Wright brothers, and Amelia Earhart.

These are the people who deserve this honor, not Harry.”

Another individual, claiming to have over a decade of experience in aviation, voiced their opinion, saying, “As someone with extensive aviation experience, I can assure you that he is certainly not a pilot based on his attitude and substance abuse issues.

Harry couldn’t even pass the exams to become a helicopter pilot.

Yes, you heard it right, he couldn’t even pass the exams.”

According to these critics, Prince Harry may have flown planes or helicopters as a student pilot, but he never obtained his pilot’s license.

They argue that his lack of qualifications makes it questionable for him to be recognized as a pilot or gunner.

One person added, “He’s never been a pilot ever, and all the vets say that he can’t even be a gunner without first being a pilot.

So he’s not even a gunner.

The dude couldn’t pass his art exams at Eton without cheating.

There’s no way he’s going to be a pilot or a gunner.

What a pathetic little wannabe he is.

He’d never have gotten into Sandhurst without being a royal because he didn’t qualify on his merits, and in his mind, he probably believes he’s deserving of all these glorious honors.”

The criticism against Prince Harry’s induction has prompted some individuals to write to the organizers, demanding his removal from the award.

They argue that his military service is not substantial enough to warrant such recognition.

One person summarized his military service, stating, “He spent something like 10 weeks per tour, that’s two total.

The first was cut down to 8 weeks because a newspaper revealed his location.

He had armed protection surrounding him both times, first by the UK special forces and the skilled Gurkhas the second time.

During his second tour, he was stationed at Camp Bastion, and his presence there was known to the public.

This resulted in the Taliban storming the base, and people lost their lives over the prince who wanted to play dress up as a soldier.

All while he was escorted out into a safe location.”

Critics also question Prince Harry’s qualifications as a pilot, highlighting that during his first tour, he didn’t even fly in a helicopter but rather provided GPS coordinates to pilots from the ground.

Furthermore, they mention his poor grades and alleged cheating to gain admission into Sandhurst Military Academy.

They question how he achieved legendary status as a pilot and suggest that this award was purchased as an ego booster after being excluded from Sandhurst’s book of notable students.

In contrast, Prince William, described as a fully qualified helicopter pilot, flew during his time in the RAF.

He did not require induction into a living legend award and even made it into the Sandhurst book of living legends, a distinction Prince Harry did not achieve.
