PRINCESS Diana's dance partner John Travolta was the driving force behind son Prince Harry being inducted into an aviation hall of fame.
The Hollywood icon, 69, was said to be one of the biggest supporters of the Duke of Sussex being honoured tomorrow.
Insiders at the Living Legends of Aviation say Harry, 39, was selected for his military service as a helicopter pilot and promoting ex-servicemen with the Invictus Games, his mental health advocacy and his philanthropy.
Pilot and actor Travolta will host the private gala at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California.
He was a friend of the Duke's late mother and the pair made global headlines when they danced at a 1985 White House state dinner to hits including You're the One That I Want, from his 1978 musical Grease.
