The 54-year-old British actor, who played Bond for
the fifth and final time in the 2021 film No Time To Die, was made a Companion
of the Order of St Michael and St George, a rare honor that author Ian Fleming
bestowed on his fictional agent.
Craig bowed his head and smirked as Princess Anne,
wearing naval uniform, put the order on its ribbon around his neck during an
investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle.
The actor received the honor for his outstanding
contribution to film and theatre.
Craig was in the British capital for the European
premiere of whodunnit drama Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, which closed the
BFI London Film Festival on Sunday.
“We’ve been expecting you,” The royal family’s
official Twitter account captioned its photograph, quoting a line famously used
by a Bond villain.
James Bond was said to have received the honor in
his obituary in You Only Live Twice, Ian Fleming Publications tweeted.
It was not the first time Craig reprised his Bond role with
the royal family in on the joke. He donned a tuxedo to film a spoof clip with
Queen Elizabeth II and her corgis for the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympics
Games, hosted by London.
