TO her legions of fans she is already royalty, but today pop princess Kylie Minogue will meet the Queen in Buckingham Palace for what she has described as one of the greatest honours of her showbiz career.
Kylie will line up with about 1000 others today to receive her OBE for services to music.
Kylie, along with TV personality Michael Parkinson and Lord of the Rings star Ian McKellen are among a glittering list of film and sports stars, business leaders and ordinary citizens named in the Queen's New Year's Honours list.
Such is the nature of the awards, no doubt Kylie will be in the queue in the palace's stunning ballroom next to community workers and high school teachers also recognised for outstanding achievement in their respective fields.
The 40-year-old singing sensation still calls Australia home, but said England was her "adopted" country.
"I feel deeply touched to be acknowledged by the UK, my adopted home, in this way," she said earlier this year, adding the honour was a surprise.
"This last year I have felt so much love and support from everyone as I took greater steps back into the public domain."
Kylie this year has returned to touring as she promotes her latest album.
