Academy Award-winning actress Olivia Colman has been honored by Queen Elizabeth II - the monarch she is about to play on the Netflix royal family TV drama"The Crown."
In a website post entitled"In Her Majesty's Secret Service," Costello said he spoke with his mother before deciding to put aside"old doubts and enmities" about the crown and his country's past as the British Empire and"muster what little grace I possess" to accept the honor from the 93-year-old monarch Friday.
Other recipients of this years' Queen's Birthday Honors include British-Sri Lankan rapper MIA, whose real name Mathangi Arulpragasam, 43, and Andrew Roachford, the singer-songwriter behind the band Roachford. Both were made a Member of the Order of the British Empire, or MBE, for services to music. The latest list included a knighthood for Simon Russell Beale, one of Britain's finest stage actors, who can now call himself Sir Simon.
Among this year's honorees were seven Holocaust survivors awarded British Empire medals for services to Holocaust education: Walter Kammerling, 95, Ernest Simon, 89, Gabrielle Keenaghan, 92, Ruzena Levy, 89, Ann Kirk, 90, Bob Kirk, 94, and George Hans Vulkan, 89,
