In a private audience held at Buckingham Palace on Friday, October 10th, the actress was awarded what can be regarded as the equivalent of ‘Knightship’ by Queen Elisabeth.

The 39 year old actress was bestowed the award for founding of the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative (PSVI) and the contribution she has made toward the British foreign policy objective of ending sexual violence in conflict.

Her recent wedded husband Brad Pitt, 50,  as well as all the couple’s children Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox were also present during the reception of the award which lasted approximately 20 minutes.

Since this is considered a private audience, there was no press, hence no pictures of the actress’ family in the palace were taken.

The CMP congratulates Angelina to this truly meaningful humanitarian achievement!
