Robbie Williams Set for Knighthood Glory — Could He Soon Be ‘Sir Robbie’?
British pop icon Robbie Williams is reportedly in line for a knighthood, thanks to his legendary music career and tireless charity work.
The 51-year-old superstar, who rose to fame with Take That before launching a wildly successful solo career, has been nominated by officials for the UK’s highest honour — and fans are already cheering for “Sir Robbie”.
Chart Royalty Meets Charity Hero
Robbie isn’t just a pop powerhouse. With 15 No.1 albums (tying him with The Beatles) and a record 18 BRIT Awards, his impact on UK music is historic. But that’s only part of the reason he’s being considered for the knighthood.
In 2006, he co-founded Soccer Aid, a celebrity football match that has now raised a jaw-dropping £106 million for UNICEF. He’s also a patron of Music Support, a charity helping musicians and crew battling addiction and mental health issues.
Support from Fans and Fellow Stars
BBC Radio 2’s Scott Mills is among those backing the honour, telling The Sun:
“Robbie should be knighted, 100 per cent. Not only for his contribution to music but for fighting his demons in the public eye and coming out the other side. He really is a role model.”
The Road to ‘Sir’ Status
The honours committee will now decide whether Robbie’s name makes it onto the official list, which requires final approval from UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and King Charles III.
Still Entertaining – But With Nerves
Even with decades of experience, Robbie recently confessed he felt stage anxiety ahead of his latest Britpop Tour.
He recalled turning to his wife Ayda Field in rehearsals and admitting his nerves:
“She said, ‘Rob, you behave like stadiums are where you should be.’ And in that moment, my perception changed.”
Robbie, who shares four children with Ayda, added:
“I believe I’ve got a lot longer on this runway to go. I look forward to getting even older with you — and performing at many more shows, whatever size they may be.”
