- 10 years ago
Britain's Queen Elizabeth made actress Angelina Jolie an honorary Dame at a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace on Friday (October 10) in recognition of her campaigning to end sexual violence in war zones and for services to UK foreign policy.
The queen presented Oscar-winning Jolie, who is special envoy to the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), with the Insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross.
Dressed in a pale suit, she shook hands with the queen.
Jolie is not a British citizen and therefore cannot be addressed as Dame. She receives the award on an honorary basis.
