Singer Kylie Minogue has been formally appointed OBE by the Prince of Wales at a Buckingham Palace ceremony.
The 40-year-old, best known for hits including I Should Be So Lucky and Spinning Around, was successfully treated for breast cancer in 2005.
Minogue, who wore a cream-coloured dress decorated with large stars, said it was "overwhelming" and "emotional".
"I knew I would be nervous. I was very excited and to have my family here was magical," she said.
Minogue, who chatted to other guests at the investiture, said: "I do feel very proud. I think my job, aside from making music, is about communication and this symbolises my communication with my audience around the world."
She said she was "slightly less nervous" about meeting Prince Charles because the two had met before.
"He asked me what I'm up to at the moment and said he is happy to see me better," the singer added.
Of her medal, she said: "I'll admire it for a while, and then keep it safe in its box."
Minogue began her career as an actress in Australian series Skyways and The Henderson Kids before securing the role of mechanic Charlene Mitchell in soap opera Neighbours.
Since embarking on her pop career she has continued to reinvent herself, and recently revealed she planned to continue singing on stage until the age of 60.
In May she received France's highest cultural honour, the Order of Arts and Letters.

2:19 pm - Kylie's a Knight
|

What do Ella Fitzgerald, Bob Dylan, Meryl Streep and T. S. Elliot have in common? They are considered as artistic as Kylie Minogue.
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. Minogue, who turns 40 later this month, will be given the insignia of a knight.
"I am deeply honored to be recognized in this way," Minogue said in a statement after the honor was announced Friday. "French culture has influenced me greatly and I have always had colossal respect for the arts and people of France."
Minogue – who dated French actor Oliver Martinez for four years before splitting in February – has spent much time in France, including in 2005, when Martinez stayed at her side during her battle with breast cancer.
The French Minister of Culture and Communications will personally present the award to Minogue for her "contribution to the enrichment of French culture" on Monday. On May 6 she begins her world tour in Paris.
