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 beau Minniear, looked proud as she received the prestigious honor from the future king.
Her membership of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire was pinned to her white peplum blazer.
She looked stunning in a smart white suit and completed her look with a net hat.
For the uninitiated, Ellie is a Global Environment Ambassador for the United Nations and was recognized on the New Year’s list.
Ellie regularly updates fans on her environmental work and has previously shared photos of herself participating in activist efforts, including speaking at the United Nations and alongside former US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Alongside the post, she wrote: ‘Such an honor to receive an MBE for services to biodiversity and climate. Right from the start I have been guided and helped by women in this space.
‘Last year we really saw and felt how much the climate and nature crisis is intensifying.
‘But we continue to be carried forward by the incredible women who hold the line – scientists, activists, lawyers, communicators, teachers, farmers, mothers, aunts, indigenous leaders and youth voices.
– The talent pool is deep, fearless and just keeps moving forward. I am lifted on the shoulders of giants. Extremely proud.
‘Thank you for the huge amount of love and well wishes I have received this past week. Love, Dr. Ellie Goulding MBE x.’
Ellie has been friends with Prince William for many years and performed at his wedding reception in 2011 with 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 previously rumored to have dated Prince Harry.
