Winslet revealed (призналась) that she had discussed motherhood with The Queen as she collected her honour, after the Queen asked how much she enjoyed acting.

Winslet, 37, has a 12-year old daughter, Mia, with first husband Jim Threapleton and a son, Joe, with her second husband, Skyfall director Sam Mendes. Take That star Barlow featured (представленный, включенный в) on the Queen's Birthday Honours list just days after the Jubilee single Sing, which he penned (сочинить) with Andrew Lloyd Webber, topped the UK singles chart (список популярных песен).
