Kylie awarded OBE

Pop princess Kylie Minogue has been formally appointed OBE by the Prince of Wales.

Kylie Minogue has been appointed an OBE by Prince Charles at a Buckingham Palace ceremony. "I knew I would be nervous. I was very excited and to have my family here was magical," she told the BBC. "I do feel very proud. I think my job, aside from making music, is about communication and this symbolises my communication with my audience around the world. I'll admire it for a while, and then keep it safe in its box," before saying she was "slightly less nervous" as she and Prince Charles have met before. "He asked me what I'm up to at the moment and said he is happy to see me better."
