Kylie Minogue has always been considered pop royalty, but now it’s official. Last night she received an Order of the British Empire at a ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
She wore a long white satin dress and gold high heels as she received the honour from Prince Charles. Her parents Carol and Ron and sister Dannii were there to see her presented with the OBE.
Kylie told The Herald Sun she was “totally blown away” by the ceremony.
“I just said to my sister before, ‘We’re in Buckingham Palace!’. Imagine saying that to us as kids. I was trying to breathe and take it all in and see everything.”
“It was very emotional seeing all these people from different walks of life joining together for this event. It is an incredible honour for me to receive this award,” she said.
“It makes me feel both humble and proud to be recognised for doing a job that I love so much.”
Congrats to Ms Minogue! She’s done Australia proud!
