Queen Katherine presented Bethany Anne Johnston with her Officer of the Windenburg Empire (OWE) medal during an Investiture ceremony at Buckingsim Palace today to recognize her glittering acting career.

The investiture marked the first since Her Majesty was crowned two weeks ago, and the amount of press allowed in the throne room revealed just how popular Windenburg's new Queen is.

The actress, Bethany Anne Johnston, who famously played Cassidy Hall in Olivia-winning film The Meadow's Breeze, received the award during today's investiture ceremony but declined to speak to the waiting press after receiving the honor.

She was dressed in a striking purple gown with high collar and sleeves.

The Queen, who has had a busy schedule of events since coronation, wore The Roz dress by one of her favorite designers, @theroyalsims, and appeared happy while greeting her investiture guests. For footwear, the Queen chose her favorite black heels.

Queen Katherine’s jewelery accessories usually remain the same for these sorts of audiences. She chose her stud pearl earrings paired with a two-strand pearl necklace.

The Academy of Simmy Picture Arts and Sciences (ASPAS, also known as the Academy or the Simmy Picture Academy) is a professional honorary organization in Del Sol Valley, United States of Americreek, with the stated goal of advancing the arts and sciences of simmy pictures.

The Academy is known around the world for its annual Academy Awards, now officially and popularly known as "The Olivias". Princess Lara and her husband Prince Anthony, grandson of Leona Basse, attended the 84th annual Academy Awards.

It was no doubt a poignant moment for Anthony, remembering his grandmother nearly 30 years after her death. The occasion also marked the royal couples first oversees trip since announcing their pregnancy.

Since its inception in 1924, the likes of Oasis Springs' Princess Akima of Monaco and of course Anthony's grandmother have attended - the latter scooping the Best Actress award in 1965 for her role in The Country Lady - plus there have been several royal appearances at the glitziest Olivia parties.

Before marrying his maternal grandfather, the famed Windenburg illustrator Emmanuel Addie, Leona Basse accepted her Best Actress award at the 1965 ceremony, which was also held at the Garwin Theatre in Del Sol Valley.

Above, she is photographed with fellow actor Harry Belatiér, who won Best Actor for his performance in The Barefoot Bride the same year. Just a month later, she would move to Windenburg and marry Addie.

In 1966, the actress did not return to award that year's Best Actor award, as is customary, due to being pregnant and unable to fly overseas.

Walking the red carpet, the Countess of Boykins wore a stunning pale-blue gown by designer @rustys-cc, with short sleeves and pleated detailing. Here, the gorgeous silhouette can be seen, as well as Lara's elegant up-do.

At this year's ceremony, Silver Screen Icon, Dame Dorothy Dunbridge CWE received an Honorary Award. The 91 year old Windenburg actress attained international stardom and critical acclaim in both musical and dramatic roles, as a recording artist, and on the concert stage with a career spanning seven decades.

Dunbridge was one of the most popular stars of classical Simmywood cinema in the 1950s. Best friend to Leona Basse, she is also godmother to both Prince Anthony and his mother.
