Duran Duran frontman Simon Le Bon was presented the MBE honor from Prince William at Windsor Castle for his contribution to music and charity.

Dame Imelda Staunton, Heather Small, Rebecca Ferguson and Simon Le Bon are among those receiving royal honours at Windsor Castle today (Tuesday 12 November). Staunton, who portrayed the late Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix’s royal drama The Crown, will receive her title for her services to drama and charity.

Singer-songwriter Rebecca Ferguson and ex-footballer Graeme Souness will also be recognised at the investiture ceremony.

The ‘death’ of the band has been much discussed over the past couple of months, with statistics showing that it’s now solo artists who dominate the upper echelons of the sales and streaming charts (not to mention the lion’s share of the cultural conversation).
