Australian pop diva Kylie Minogue has become a frequent and welcome guest at Buckingham Palace. At the end of last year, she received a state award on behalf of the Queen of Great Britain. And the other day she received the order "for service to the art of music" from the hands of Prince Charles.

Kylie Minogue continues to expand her collection of state awards: yesterday she was awarded the Order of the British Empire for her achievements in the field of music. It became known about the award of the order to the singer at the end of last year.

Media representatives noted that, presenting the Order of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace, the prince had to lean pretty much towards the short Minogue, dressed in a white dress with multicolored glittering stars.

“For me, being awarded the Order of the British Empire on behalf of Her Majesty was both an honor and a surprise. I am very pleased that my activities are marked in this way in a country that has become my second home,”admitted the world pop star.

Kylie Minogue's albums have sold over 60 million copies. Together with Madonna and U2, Kylie is one of the "big three" legends of world music, whose songs were at the top of the charts both at the end of the last and at the beginning of this century.

Meanwhile, British tabloids have also noted Kylie's ease and etiquette. Firstly, the conversation lasted as much as 33 seconds (too long according to the rules of the protocol), and secondly, the singer squeezed the prince's outstretched hand too tightly. However, His Highness remained delighted with the communication with the pop diva.

“If someone told me when I was 14 years old that one day I would be talking to members of the royal family at Buckingham Palace, I would never believe it,” Kylie said in the end.
