As reported earlier, Kylie Minogue has been to Buckingham Palace to collect her OBE, which was presented by HRH Prince Charles.
   Minogue arrived in a chauffeured limousine and had chatted and joked with the Prince during the investiture. She wore a cream dress with gold high heels.
   Attending in support of the Australian-born singer were her parents and her sister Dannii, who had rushed from the filming of The X Factor.
   Minogue said, ‘It was surprisingly emotional. I expected to be a little nervous, obviously very excited, but it was very emotional seeing all these people from different walks of life joining together for this event.’
   Her OBE was awarded for services to entertainment by HM Queen Elizabeth II as part of her New Year’s Honours.
