Ellie Goulding has added another feather to her cap after receiving an MBE from Prince William for her services to biodiversity and climate action.
The Grammy-nominated singer, 39, who welcomed her second child in March, her first with boyfriend Minniear, looked proud as she received the prestigious honor from the future king.
His medal as a Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire was pinned to his white peplum blazer.
She looked stunning in a chic white suit, completing her look with a mesh hat.
For those who don’t know, Ellie is a Global Environmental Ambassador to the UN and has been recognized in the New Year’s Honors List.
Ellie regularly updates fans about her environmental work and has previously shared photos of herself taking part in activist efforts, including speaking at the UN and alongside former US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Alongside the message, she wrote: “It is a great honor to receive an MBE for services to biodiversity and climate. From the beginning, I was guided and helped by women in this space.
“Last year we really saw and felt how the climate and nature crisis is intensifying.
“But we continue to be lifted up by the incredible women holding the line: scientists, activists, lawyers, communicators, teachers, farmers, mothers, aunts, indigenous leaders and voices of youth.
“The talent pool is vast, fearless and constantly growing. I am carried on the shoulders of giants. Extremely proud.
“Thank you for the enormous amount of love and congratulations I received last week. My love, Dr Ellie Goulding MBE x.’
Ellie has been friends with Prince William for many years and performed at his 2011 wedding reception to Kate Middleton, singing a cover of Your Song for the couple’s first dance.
She reunited with them at the Earthshot Prize Awards in Boston in 2022 and was rumored to have dated Prince Harry.
