Music career of musician Ed Shiran is rapidly gaining momentum, just a few days ago he was awarded the title of "Best Artist of the Year" according to the streaming service Spotify. January album Divide has long broken records on listening, 3.1 billion people appreciated the music of Shiran, and his song Shape Of You "blew up" all social networks! But not only fans like this artist, but also for active participation in charity projects. Last night, Prince Charles presented Ed Chiran with the Order of the British Empire for fruitful cooperation in the field of humanitarian and social programs, as well as for his contribution to contemporary music. Now the musician with dignity carries an honorary title - the Chevalier of the Order.
Official rewarding
Earlier it was assumed that the order would be handed personally to Elizabeth II, but she was forced to give priority to issues of national importance. These days the Queen visited the naval base in Portsmouth, where she participated in the ceremony of commissioning the aircraft carrier Queen Elizabeth.
Ed Sheeran did not hide his joy, pride and a little embarrassment. During a short speech, he thanked those present for the honor and dedicated the order to his grandfather Bill Shiran:
"I am grateful for such an honorable award for me. My relatives are very proud of me. I'm sure the late grandfather would be proud now. He was a big admirer of the British royal family, he was anxious about memorable souvenirs and things. Unfortunately, it was not exactly four years ago on this day and, on this day, I became a Knight of the Order. In this there is a moment of symbolism! "
The present journalists took advantage of the moment and asked the question of all the fans of the singer whether Sheir planned to perform at the wedding of Megan Markle and Prince Harry? To which the singer with humor remarked:
"I would be happy to speak to them, but so far no invitation has been received."
Note that the probability of the appearance of a famous musician at the royal wedding is great, because the lyric tracks of Ed Sheeran serve as a perfect background for any romantic situation.
