Prince Harry is headed to Hollywood for his next public event in Southern California.
The Duke of Sussex is set to attend the 22nd annual Living Legends of Aviation ceremony, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Friday, April 25, with John Travolta serving as host.
Harry, who was honored as a Living Legend at last yearâs event, will join actor Morgan Freeman and other A-listers in celebrating the aerial firefighters who helped combat the wildfires in Los Angeles earlier this year
The Duke of Sussex and wife Meghan Markle also contributed to relief efforts back in January, handing out food and supplies to victims and meeting with firefighters who battled the devastating blazes.

He was awarded his Flying Wings in 2010 following completion of the eight-month Army Pilot Course with the Army Aviation Centre, and his father, King Charles, awarded his flying wings.

Travolta will once again serve as host and âaviation ambassadorâ for the 2025 Living Legends ceremony. Harry poked fun at the Saturday Night Fever star in his speech last year, teasing him for âdining outâ on his infamous dance with Harryâs mother, the late Princess Diana, during a visit to the White House in 1985.
“I was one year old when you danced with my mom,” the duke teased. âBut look at us now, it’s great! So if we’re not going to dance together, we’ll fly together.â
