The Prince of Wales bestowed honours upon 60 individuals at Windsor Castle on 2026-05-13. Among those recognised were pop star Ellie Goulding, who received an MBE, and Daniel Levy, who collected a CBE. Ellie Goulding earned her MBE in the King's New Year Honours for championing biodiversity and climate causes.
The singer has served as a global goodwill ambassador for the UN Environment Programme since 2017 and currently represents the World Wildlife Fund. Throughout her 15-year career she has matched Adele's record as the British female artist with the most chart-topping UK albums, delivering hits including Burn, Miracle and Love Me Like You Do.
She performed at Prince William and Catherine's wedding reception in April 2011.
Daniel Levy dedicated a quarter of a century to Tottenham Hotspur and is the Premier League's longest-serving chairman. The £1 billion Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was completed in 2019 under his leadership, generating significant employment opportunities for the local area.
He received his CBE for charitable contributions and community work across Tottenham, where he championed education, health initiatives and social inclusion programmes.
Online safety campaigner Ellen Roome, 49, from Cheltenham, Gloucestershire, received an MBE for services to children's online safety. Her 14-year-old son Jools died while attempting an internet challenge. She has joined a group legal action against TikTok in America alongside parents alleging their children died attempting the so-called blackout challenge.
