Elton John receives award from the British royal family
Fox News
Elton John has no doubt been a member of many exclusive clubs over the decades, but probably nothing quite as exclusive as the one he formally joined on Wednesday.
It is one of the highest awards that can be bestowed by Charles' mother, Queen Elizabeth II, to citizens in Britain and across the Commonwealth. The 95-year-old monarch is also a member of the order.
Introduced in 1917 by her grandfather King George V, the award recognizes people who have made "a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine, or government lasting over a long period of time."
