Prince Harry will attend a glitzy awards show just days after Meghan Markle leaves California.

Harry will attend the 22nd annual "Living Legends of Aviation" awards on April 25, where he will honour aerial firefighting teams who battled Los Angeles wildfires earlier this year.


The Duke of Sussex will attend the prestigious aviation event just two days after his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, will speak at the TIME100 Summit in New York City.

Harry, 40, will join other notable attendees in paying special tribute to the men and women involved in aerial operations during the LA fires.

The ceremony will take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, continuing its tradition of recognising significant contributions to aviation and aerospace.

Actor John Travolta will host the awards ceremony, continuing his long association with the event.

Prince Harry will be joined by Hollywood star Morgan Freeman and several NASA astronauts at the prestigious gathering.

This year marks the 22nd edition of the "Living Legends of Aviation" awards, which have recognised numerous aviation pioneers and innovators over the decades.
