"The truth is, I stand here not as Prince Harry, Pat Tillman award recipient, but rather a voice on behalf of the Invictus Games Foundation and the thousands of veterans and service personnel from over 20 nations who have made the Invictus Games a reality. This award belongs to them. Not to me," he said.

"The spirit of the Invictus Games transcends race, time, and borders," Prince Harry continued. "It is born from unity and exudes purpose," he added.

The ESPY Awards was hosted by the couple's good friend and legend, Serena Williams, who threw jabs at the British tabloids who have consistently accused the couple of stealing the spotlight.

"But please, Harry and Meghan, try not to breathe too much tonight because this is my night, and I don't want to be overshadowed by the accusations you guys are taking up too much oxygen," she joked.
