Prince Harry is gearing up for his next public appearance in Southern California, and it promises to be a star-studded affair. The Duke of Sussex will be attending the prestigious 22nd annual Living Legends of Aviation ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Friday, April 25. The event will be hosted by none other than Hollywood icon John Travolta.

Last year, Prince Harry was honoured as a Living Legend at the ceremony, and this year he will be joining other top-tier celebrities like Morgan Freeman to celebrate the heroic efforts of aerial firefighters who battled the wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year. This is not the first time the Duke and his wife, Meghan Markle, have shown support for relief efforts, as they were also actively involved in distributing supplies to victims and meeting with firefighters during the devastating blazes in January.
Prince Harry’s connection to aviation runs deep, as he served as a helicopter pilot during his tenure in the British Army. His training took him across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia, and he flew combat missions in Afghanistan. In 2010, he was awarded his Flying Wings by his father, King Charles, who also awarded Prince William’s flying wings back in 2008.
The 2025 Living Legends of Aviation ceremony will once again see John Travolta taking on the role of host and aviation ambassador. Last year, Prince Harry light-heartedly teased Travolta about his famous dance with Princess Diana at the White House in 1985, joking that although he was just a year old at the time, they could now “fly together” instead of dance.
This year’s lineup of Living Legends inductees includes notable figures like Christopher Cassidy, a former Navy SEAL and NASA astronaut, and Tom Costello, NBC’s lead aviation and space correspondent. Additionally, the inaugural Dr. Buzz Aldrin Space Advancement Award will be presented to the Polaris Dawn Crew, honouring their contributions to space exploration.
The event is expected to be a glamorous affair, with a guest list that includes prominent personalities from the world of aviation and entertainment. As Prince Harry continues to make strides in his post-royal life, his involvement in events like the Living Legends ceremony showcases his ongoing commitment to important causes and his passion for aviation.
