Angelina, who was recently honored as an Honorary Dame Commander of The Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George, attended a special ceremony at a cathedral.

Angelina appeared serious and affected as she looked through a 500-page leather-bound book, placing a gloved hand over her heart as if to steady herself.

Angelina and Arminka have developed a close friendship over the years. In 2014, Angelina watched as Lady Helic was admitted to the House of Lords, and they have traveled together to places like the International Criminal Court in the Netherlands and Burma during the 2015 election. On Thursday, Angelina was recognized by The Order for her good deeds, which is an organization that acknowledges service in foreign countries or in relation to foreign or Commonwealth affairs. The Order consists of the Sovereign, Grand Master (Duke of Kent), 125 Knights and Dames Grand Cross, 375 Knights and Dames Commander, and 1,750 Companions. Angelina was invited as a recipient of an honor from the Order.
Effulgent: With an aura of effortless sophistication, she gracefully settled into her chair.
The famous actress gazed upward and grinned, proudly displaying her impeccable attire. She was granted an honorary damehood in 2014 for her remarkable contributions to UK foreign policy and her extensive work towards ending sexual violence in war zones. This prestigious honor was bestowed by the Queen on the recommendation of the Prime Minister; the ceremony was held at the cathedral that houses the Chapel of the Order of St. Michael and St. George, which was established in 1906. Despite being recognized for her efforts in the UK, Angelina Jolie has also expressed her desire to do more in her home country and has even contemplated a political career. In a 2014 interview with Vanity Fair, she acknowledged that politics must be considered when working as a humanitarian because real change requires a sense of responsibility. However, she remains uncertain about the role that would best suit her and whether her profession would hinder her ability to assume a political position.
