At the event, he presented the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award to Cam Heyward, a player for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Following the awards ceremony, Prince Harry decided to stay in Las Vegas to attend the Super Bowl.
The Duke of Sussex made the trip to the UK to visit his father, King Charles III, after the monarch’s cancer diagnosis. According to the official statement from Buckingham Palace, King Charles III was diagnosed with cancer while being treated for an enlarged prostate. However, specific details about his diagnosis have not been disclosed.
While Prince Harry visited the UK, Meghan Markle remained in the US at their Montecito mansion with their children, Archie and Lillibet. It’s expected that the Duchess of Sussex will join the Duke in Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.
Harry compared football with rugby
During the NFL Honor Awards, Prince Harry humorously compared football and rugby while presenting the award to Cam Heyward. He jokingly mentioned how Americans « stole rugby » from the British and made it their own, highlighting some of the differences between the two sports. He also praised the rugby players for being remarkable role models both on and off the field.
Before attending the NFL Honor Awards, Prince Harry visited his father at Clarence House in the UK after flying in on a commercial British Airways flight. The Duke of Sussex spent around 45 minutes with his father, which was reportedly their first proper contact in 15 months. However, he did not meet with his brother, Prince William, or sister-in-law, Kate, during his brief trip to the UK.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell invited the Duke of Sussex to the event in Las Vegas. Although it would have been convenient for Harry to stay in town for this week’s big game, neither he nor his wife, Meghan Markle, will be attending Super Bowl LVIII. They are occupied with preparations for their upcoming trip to Canada for the opening event of their Invictus Games next week, according to some PageSix‘s, sources.
