The actress is made an honorary Dame
Real and showbiz royalty collided
today when the Queen made Angelina Jolie an honorary Dame at Buckingham
Palace.
The actress and humanitarian icon received her
honour from the Queen in the palace’s grand 1844 room this morning - with Brad
and their six children in tow.
Angelina, who looked chic in a pale
coat and skirt, received the Insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross of the
Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George from the Queen.

Angelina was joined by her husband
and children
Placing her hand on her chest she
bowed her head as the Queen held out the insignia before Brad and their
children came in to say hi.
The whole meeting lasted about 20
minutes.
A source said: “Initially the Queen
presented the insignia to Angelina alone and after the private audience both Mr
Brad Pitt and all children were presented to the Queen.”
Angelina was recognised in the
Diplomatic and Overseas Birthday 2014 honours list and received her honorary
damehood for services to UK foreign policy and the campaign to end sexual
violence.

Despite the honour she is not
entitled to call herself a Dame because she is a foreign citizen, but she can
put the letters DCMG after her name.
When it was announced she would be
receiving the honour in June Angelina said: “To receive an honour related to
foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my
working life to. Working on PVSI and with survivors of rape is an honour in
itself.
“I know that succeeding in our goals
will take a lifetime, and I am dedicated to it for all of mine.”
