Julie Walters is receiving Damehood honor from The Queen!
Julie Walters is receiving a very well deserved honor from The Queen! All of us wannabe Weasley kids are so happy for her! Read here for the details!
This year, the Queen’s awards are even more special than usual! It also marks 100 years of the Order of the British Empire! Just when you didn’t think it could get any more exciting, it can! J.K. Rowling has been honored beside Walters!
Every year, during around the time of the Queen’s birthday, a list of those honored is released. But this year has proven to be an extra special one so far! Every time we think people are done being added to the list, we are surprised with a few more!
This is one of the highest honors to be awarded, not just in Britain, but all across the world! At this point, there are more than one thousand people on the list to be honored this year! That’s quite impressive if you ask me! Even if you don’t!
Julie Walters deserves it all
Walters is being recognized for her services in Drama. What might surprise you is that her career aspirations when she was younger were to be a nurse. Something she achieved and worked at in Birmingham. After a few years, she quit to move to Manchester and enrolled in a drama course. That’s quite a career switch!
This isn’t the first time Julie Walters has been honored by the Queen. In 1999 she was awarded an OBE, and in 2008 she was awarded a CBE! That’s quite the collection she has put under her belt!
Walters, in typical Molly Weasley fashion, commented on the honor:
"It’s amazing and a great honor and the icing on the cake of life."
She shows that even after all this time, she can still give us the motherly warm and fuzzies. This is why she is and always will be one of my favorite actresses.
