Catherine Zeta-Jones added a royal honor to Hollywood stardom Saturday when she was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II.
The Academy Award winner is part of an eclectic list of honorees, announced to mark the queen’s official birthday, that includes the founder of the Jimmy Choo footwear label and 1960s rocker Graham Nash.
“I am absolutely thrilled with this honor,” Zeta-Jones said in a statement. “As a British subject, I feel incredibly proud. At the same time, it is overwhelming and humbling. And my mum and dad are delighted beyond belief.”
