She has won Grammys, a Golden Globe and an Oscar (the latter two for her James Bond song “Skyfall”). But Thursday, Adele added a singularly British honor – an MBE medal – to the list.
The singer, 25, was full of smiles, and even allowed herself a hearty chuckle, upon receiving the medal – an honor reserved for exemplary British subjects – from Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace.
Introduced in the palace ballroom as Miss Adele Adkins, she stepped forward sporting her trademark wide grin before having a short chat with Charles. He pinned the award for “services to music” on her black, long-sleeve Stella McCartney tea dress and shook her hand.
When her private moment was over, Adele stepped back, gave a little curtsey and, walking away, had a hearty laugh to herself, People magazine informs.
