The Queen Becomes a Knight

The French government about to make Kylie Minogue (39) a knight. On May 5, Minogue will join those luminaries when the French government bestows upon her the title of Chevalier dans l’ordre des Arts et des Letters, Knight in the Order of Arts and Letters, one of France’s highest cultural awards. Minoque said:

"I am deeply honored to be recognized in this way. French culture has influenced me greatly and I have always had colossal respect for the arts and people of France."

On May 5 the French Minister of Culture and Communications will personally present the award to Minogue for her "contribution to the enrichment of French culture." On May 6 she begins her world tour in Paris.

Congrats!
