Britain Makes Hollywood Actress Angelina Jolie an Honorary Dame
Britain Makes Hollywood Actress Angelina Jolie an Honorary Dame – Britain has made the Oscar-winning Hollywood actress Angelina Jolie an honorary dame for services to UK foreign policy and her campaigning to end sexual violence in war zones.
Jolie, who is special envoy of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, was among more than 1000 people to receive an award for their contribution to British society in the annual Queen’s Birthday Honours list published on Saturday. Jolie’s husband, Brad Pitt, and their children were all present for the occasion.
Jolie, 39, co-founded the Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative with Foreign Secretary William Hague in 2012. Since she is not a British citizen she cannot be addressed as Dame, but receives the award on an honorary basis.
Jolie said in a statement,”To receive an honor related to foreign policy means a great deal to me, as it is what I wish to dedicate my working life to”.
