Prince Harry Jabs John Travolta For 'Dining Out' On Famous 1985 Princess Diana Dance
HuffPost
The prince's dry comments have gone viral since Friday.
Prince Harry made some curiously pointed remarks on Friday about actor John Travolta, who famously once danced with the late Princess Diana.
Travolta hosted the 21st Annual Living Legends of Aviation Awards in Los Angeles on Friday, where Harry was due to be honored for his service as a helicopter pilot in the British Army. Harry took the stage and Travolta, a recreational pilot, presented the royal with a medal.
“This is nice,” said Harry in footage posted on X, formerly Twitter.
“Thanks very much, Captain John,” he added in Travolta’s direction, as the host walked off. “Don’t go running away. I was one year old when you danced with my mum, as you told everybody here, and continue to dine out on that — probably every single night. But look at us now.”
While the audience returned mild chuckles, Harry continued to rib Travolta: “If we’re not gonna dance together, we’ll fly together.
