The award was given to Kiera by the Queen for her services to drama. The actress previously joked to Stephen Colbert, “I wasn’t aware that Britain still had an empire but it’s nice to be an office of it anyway.”

Her daughter, Edie Knightley Righton, wasn’t in attendance at the event. Her royal title doesn’t mean much to the three-year-old. Keira revealed to Stephen, “My daughter was having a tantrum at me and I tried this, ‘You can’t have a temper tantrum at me. I’m an officer! You should salute me or something.’”
