Prince Harry is to be inducted alongside Apollo 11 hero Buzz Aldrin as a 'living legend' of aviation at a glitzy Beverly Hills ceremony hosted by John Travolta.
The Duke of Sussex, 39, has been recognised ahead of the likes of Charles Duke - who became the youngest person to walk on the moon in 1972 when he was aged 36.
The decorated event will be hosted by John Travolta and has been previously been dubbed by actor Morgan Freeman as the Oscars of aviation.
It is understood that his work with setting up the Invictus Games Foundation will also be celebrated, according to the awards.
The event was set up in 2003 to honour those who make significant contributions to aviation and aerospace.
People still 'living' are recorded on the list and replace past inductees who have died, such as Neil Armstrong.
The Duke completed two tours of Afghanistan as a forward air controller and an Apache helicopter pilot, having flown countless training missions in the UK, US and Australia.
He served for 10 years in the military, rising to the rank of Captain
Harry will take his place alongside other aviation and aerospace 'legends' including Aldrin, Jeff Bezos, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Elon Musk and Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman Al Saud.
Other aerospace icons set to be inducted alongside the prince this year include US navy pilot Fred George and former world speed record holder Steve Hinton.
The event's website also praised the duke for his work with charities and organisations including Travalyst, Sentebale, African Parks, WellChild and the Invictus Games.
A statement on the event's website said: 'Prince Harry is a humanitarian, military veteran, mental wellness advocate and environmentalist.

I heard that Prince Harry beat out Bugs Bunny by just one vote.
What a joke....and, way to diminish it for the other inductees.
Don’t forget Snoopy
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Where will his narcissist wife be?
Princess Harriett and Prince Meghan and John Revolta, three of a kind.
WTF? Dude flew an helicopter for a little while. If that’s the criteria both his brother, father and uncle are eligible as well.

What did Meg (or Harry) have to do to get his name in spotlights with the truly greats?
..And to whom was it done?
I guess his turn at dressing up as a Nazi didn’t cancel or disqualify him.
I call him John Revolting. He’s so gross.
JMV! 😍
He’s always bragging about how many Taliban fighters he has killed... So there’s that.
“Jeff Bezos, Tom Cruise, Harrison Ford, Morgan Freeman, Elon Musk and Saudi Prince Sultan bin Salman Al Saud”
Well, if you are going to include these bozos, then why not Prince Harry?
