Angelina Jolie made an Honorary Dame by Queen

Angelina Jolie has been made an honorary Dame by the Queen at Buckingham Palace. The American actress was honoured with the Insignia of an Honorary Dame Grand Cross in recognition of her humanitarian work. However, as a foreign citizen, Jolie cannot be addressed as Dame. Her husband, well-known actor Brad Pitt, and her six children attended the ceremony and also met the Queen.

Off-screen, Jolie has become involved in worldwide charity projects, especially those involving refugees and children. The Oscar-winning star’s interest in humanitarian work began after she went to Cambodia to shoot the film Lara Croft: Tomb Raider in 2001. While she was there, she met many Cambodians who had been affected by the war and she felt she had to use her fame to do something. This is also when she decided to adopt her first child Maddox, a Cambodian boy. Since then, the actors have adopted two other children, a boy from Vietnam and a girl from Ethiopia.

She became a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations shortly after the release of Tomb Raider. In 2003, Jolie and Pitt set up a charity called The Maddox Jolie-Pitt Foundation, focused on protecting endangered natural areas in Cambodia. The foundation has since expanded and has supported other humanitarian issues around the world. The actress has also helped other different charities and foundations. Together with her husband Brad Pitt, Jolie donated $1 million to Doctors Without Borders and Global Action for Children. They have also helped set up children's charities in Libya and Haiti, focused on promoting their rights. Jolie has visited refugees and humanitarian missions in more than 20 different war zones.

Jolie has received wide recognition and awards for her humanitarian work.
