Ed Sheeran Awarded MBE at Buckingham Palace, Chats With Prince Charles
The 26-year-old "Shape of You" star visited
Buckingham Palace to receive an MBE, making him a member of the Most
Excellent Order of the British Empire.
Prince Charles did the
honors in place of Queen Elizabeth. Sheeran was not named a knight or
Sir, so instead of the formalities associated with such a distinction,
Sheeran chatted casually with Prince Charles.
"He was asking me if I was still selling lots of records, and I told him
I've got a concert in New York tomorrow," Sheeran told the BBC, according to MTV. "He was quite surprised I was flying after this."
Sheeran added that, on a more personal note, his late grandfather, Bill (who passed in 2013) was a "massive royalist."
"He
had all the commemorative plates and stuff," Sheeran said, "and he died
on this day four years ago, so it's actually quite a nice full circle
thing. I guess he'd be pretty proud."
Sheeran's "New York concert" (Dec. 8) is the Z100 Jingle Ball at Madison Square Garden.
