King Charles has decided to honor Maestro actress Carey Mulligan for her services in the entertainment industry.
Mulligan has been named Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE). The actress first rose to fame with role in 2009’s An Education and earned a Best Actress nomination for her performance. She went on to be nominated twice more for her roles in 2021’s Promising Young Woman and 2024’s Maestro opposite Bradley Cooper.
Alongside The Great Gatsby star, actress Sarah Lancashire, 60, will also be honored.
More prominent names recognized by the King include England soccer team manager Gareth Southgate and the Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, who are joined by more than 1200 people selected for different honors for their services to British society.
The list of 2025 honors was released on December 31.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer celebrated the list for recognizing ordinary people who are “unsung heroes.”
“Each and every day, ordinary people go out and do extraordinary things for their communities,” Starmer said. “They represent the very best of the UK and that core value of service which I put at the centre of everything this government does. The New Year Honours List celebrates more of these unsung heroes, and I thank them for their incredible contribution.”
Meanwhile, Carey Mulligan has movies Wildwood and The Ballad of Wallis Island in her pipeline.
