While it's not a prize listed in Alfred Nobel's will, the Academy and Foundation refer to it as a Nobel Prize and announce the laureates together with the winners of other prizes. So I would say it is legit.

The Peace prize was given to a man who was actively bombing people, I don't think the Nobel organization's prestige is anywhere near what it was a few decades ago. Sad that it departed from what it once was.
