Prince William welcomes legends to present top honours at Windsor Castle - Geo News

Prince William welcomed a line-up of recipients to Windsor Castle as he carried out an investiture on Tuesday.

He presented honours to some of Britain’s best-known names from sport and entertainment.

Among those receiving recognition from the Prince of Wales was legendary athlete Paula Radcliffe, who was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her services to sport.

DJ and media personality Carl Cox was also appointed an OBE, while Welsh musician and broadcaster Cerys Matthews received the same honour for her services to music.

The Prince’s official Instagram account later gave an update of the occasion, sharing a photograph on Instagram Story with the message: “Awarding honours to brilliant individuals at Windsor.”

For Radcliffe, the honour recognises a remarkable sporting career that has made her one of Britain’s most celebrated distance runners. 

Cox, meanwhile, has enjoyed a decades-long career behind the decks, while Matthews has built a reputation as both a musician and broadcaster.
