James Bond collects his CMG

Daniel Craig has received the same royal honour as James Bond after being awarded a CMG for his services to film and theatre.

Craig was recently invested as a  Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal at Windsor Castle. 

The 54-year-old actor has played Bond for 16 years across five films, first appearing in 2006’s Casino Royale and ending with No Time To Die in 2021.

During his time as 007, Craig also made a famous appearance alongside Queen Elizabeth II in a sketch to mark the opening of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Daniel Craig is descended from the Burnaby baronets:-

Vice-Admiral Sir William Burnaby, 1st Baronet > Georgiana Burnaby > Henry Chamier > Georgiana Chamier > Grace Wroughton > Rosa Smith > Rosalind Maud Jones > Timothy Craig > Daniel Craig, CMG
