English actor Daniel Craig has received the same honour as his iconic character James Bond after being awarded a CMG at Windsor Castle for services to film and theatre.

Craig was made a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George — the same honour held by Ian Fleming's iconic character — by Princess Royal on Tuesday.

The 54-year-old has starred in the last five Bond movies, first appearing as 007 in Casino Royale in 2006 and ending his run with "No Time To Die" in 2021. 

Moreover, he made a famous appearance alongside the Queen in a sketch to mark the opening of the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Also receiving honours was film director, producer, and screenwriter Paul Greengrass, who has directed several Hollywood blockbusters, including three of the Bourne franchise movies and "Captain Phillips" (2013).

Paul Greengrass is made a CBE (Commander of the Order of the British Empire) by the Princess Royal at Windsor Castle. Picture date: Tuesday October 18, 2022.                                                                                                    <p>
