I have to ask. What is the MBE? Is it Male British Entertainer, that's a guess on my part. At first the photo deceived me and I thought Alex was extremely short. Then I realized he was standing a stair below Prince William!

Aled's award was for services to music and broadcasting, and for charitable services, pecanpraline. Among other things, he is a patron of Hope House Children's hospice (North Wales) www.hopehouse.org.uk/ and deputy President of The Story of Christmas Appeal - see www.socappeal.com/index.php and click on People (if you wait long enough for the photos to move through the system you will see one with him!) He has also been out to Sri Lanka for SOS - www.soschildrensvillages.org.uk/about-our-charity/our-friends scroll down, and has presented concerts on behalf of fundraising for SOS Children's villages a couple of times (I've been to two at the Royal Albert Hall!) I agree about the height!! Aled is not that tall, but even Andy Murray. who was also given his OBE (Order of the British Empire) yesterday was over shadowed by Prince William, and he is 6ft 3 ins (1.90 metres) As you rightly say, Prince William is standing on a step above the recipient
