Helena Bonham Carter receives Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE)
 
Helena Bonham Carter, best known to fans as portraying Bellatrix Lestrange in the latter half of the Harry Potter series, received the Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) medal by U.K.'s Queen Elizabeth II today at Buckingham Palace. The Oscar-nominated actress was given the honour due to her prestigious and eclectic body of film work, from Merchant Ivory period pieces in her youth to the Harry Potter series and various Tim Burton productions. Photos of Helena with the Queen at the investiture ceremony, partner Burton, and her award at Buckingham Palace can be seen here; congratulations to Helena on the accolade!

No; the 'Dame' and 'Sir' titles only go to those who receive the KBE/GBE/DBE honour, like Maggie Smith, who has a DBE. CBE is a level below that.

gah!!! Helena gets a CBE!! finally!!!!! :woot: :woot:

congratulations Helena!!

and i love her outfit ^_^ her skirt could've been switched to black or dark, velvety red but it probably looked better than the pictures would show :shifty:

and i think although she isnt called Dame yet when they write her name, it can (or perhaps should) always be followed with the CBE right? like Helena Bonham-Carter, C.B.E.

Helena iirc is blue-blood anyway, she descended from an Earl and has a lot of prestigious members in her family on both sides of the family tree (think the House of Black, but real and more humane :P) she just never made a big deal out it, part of the reason why i love her so much ^_^
