‘The Crown’ Star Imelda Staunton, Duran Duran’s Simon Le Bon, Armando Iannucci Named In King’s Birthday Honours


Staunton, who starred as Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix drama 'The Crown' has been made a dame.

Bates spent years fighting for justice after more than 900 Post Office colleagues were prosecuted for stealing after faulty software created incorrect accounts across the country. Other names from the entertainment world to be recognised in this year’s list include artist Tracey Emin and designer Anya Hindmarch, both being made dames. Writer Armando Iannucci, creator of TV comedy Veep and the movie In the Loop, has been made a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire).
