Imelda Staunton, famous to
Harry Potter fans as portraying nefarious Dolores Umbridge in the film series, received the Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (CBE) for her services to the drama and arts field by Prince William on Friday afternoon.
A few photos of the actress with her accolade, and accompanied by husband Jim Carter (of
Downton Abbey fame) at an investiture in Buckingham Palace, can be seen here.
Many congratulations to Imelda Staunton on the recognition. Do note that the CBE is not a Damehood, so as of now she does not have the Dame title.
