The Duke of Sussex was honored by John Travolta during the Living Legends of Aviation Awards.
Prince Harry still has some fond memories of his dad, King Charles III.
On Friday, the Duke of Sussex was honored at the 21st annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Beverly Hills, California, for his work in the air space during his time in the British Army. Sporting a black tuxedo, the 39-year-old royal was presented the honor by actor John Travolta, who is the Official Ambassador of Aviation.
When asked by Travolta to speak about his flight experience, Prince Harry recalled his first flight with his father.
"I think I was maybe seven or eight years old in a Wessex helicopter, and I jumped into it so excited. And then my father jumped in behind the controls and I was terrified," Harry quipped as the audience laughed.
Harry's rare comments about Charles come amid tension between himself and the royal family, which followed the release of his bombshell memoir, Spare.
The Duke of Sussex's honor came days after it was announced that his father, King Charles, is set to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate. On top of that, his sister-in-law and Prince William's wife, Kate Middleton, is in the hospital recovering from abdominal surgery.
Also while speaking at the event, the father of two joked about Travolta's famous moment in 1985 when he danced with Prince Harry's mother, Princess Diana, at the White House. Harry remarked to "Captain John" that he was only one when the actor danced with his mother, and quipped that the Saturday Night Fever star was "dining out on that," according to People.
"But look at us now, it's great," Harry added in his speech. "So if we're not going to dance together, we'll fly together."
Harry's wife, Meghan Markle, was reportedly supposed to attend the event, but couldn't make it due to one of their children being sick.
Other notable award recipients at the event were Lauren Sánchez, who received the Elling Halvorson Vertical Flight Hall of Fame Award, and American aviators Steve Hinton, Marc Parent, and Fred George.
