LONDON — Benedict Cumberbatch has been honored by Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace for his services to the performing arts and to charity.
The 39-year-old actor wore a traditional morning suit to receive his Commander of the British Empire award in a ceremony Tuesday.
The “Sherlock” star, who was also nominated for an Oscar, told reporters afterward that the experience was “quite nerve-wracking.”
Cumberbatch has been supporting charity appeals to help Syrian refugees, and helped raise more than $227,000 in donations for Save the Children.
