London:
Titanic star Kate Winslet and singer Gary Barlow have been awarded with Britain's highest honour by the Queen for their accomplishments in entertainment field.
The 37-year-old star, dressed sharply in an outfit by Alexander McQueen and a hat by Natalie Ellner, received a CBE for services to drama from the Queen at the Buckingham Palace. Winslet said that the Queen had congratulated her, the Daily Mail reported.
"It was such an honour to meet the Queen, it was my first time. She told me she was delighted to be presenting me with my award and then asked whether I liked my job. I told her that I loved it but I love being a mum even more. The Queen said, 'Yes, that's the only job which matters'. What a genuinely lovely thing to say! And I couldn't agree with her more."
Mr Barlow said he was "deeply proud" to receive the OBE by the Queen.
The 41-year-old star was given the title for services to the entertainment industry and to charity.
