Robbie Williams has a shot at the UK's biggest accolade. Not many have it.

If the latest reports are to be believed, the famous British singer may soon receive a major honour. Robbie Williams has reportedly been shortlisted for the title of Commodore. The star was reportedly nominated in recognition of his musical achievements and philanthropic commitment. Last year alone, he donated £250,000 to charity.

The Sun is reporting that Robbie Williams has been nominated for an honorary knighthood . The 51-year-old artist, whose 15th album topped the UK's best-selling album charts in January, equalling the record held by The Beatles for more than a quarter of a century, is set to receive one of the UK's most prestigious honours. The star is said to be among the celebrities recommended for an OBE.

Williams was nominated for the prestigious title of Commander in recognition of his musical achievements and philanthropic commitment. According to information obtained by the English daily, the singer donated £250,000 to charity last year alone.

He is also the co-founder of the annual Soccer Aid fundraising event for UNICEF UK . To date, over £121 million has been raised.

Williams is also known for actively raising public awareness of mental disorders . The singer was first diagnosed with depression in his early twenties. He has also struggled with alcohol and drug addiction in the past, which he has openly discussed in interviews and during stage performances.

- I drank and did drugs to numb the pain and dull the mental suffering. Eventually I realized that it was a one-way trip, straight to hell. I realized that I had to stop or I would die. (…) When you sober up, you stay with who you really are. And I was a terribly lonely, isolated person then - he confessed in 2023 during a concert in Sydney.

A few months ago, Williams revealed that he struggles with feelings of inferiority due to his lack of education. The musician was unable to complete college due to academic problems caused by impaired cognitive functions.

- I've felt really stupid all my life. I have dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD. In the 70s and 80s we didn't know what dyslexia was, no one talked about it. I left school believing I just wasn't smart enough. It took me ages to get over it - the two-time Grammy nominee told The Sun.

The decision to award Willians a knighthood was supported by the famous British DJ and radio presenter Scott Mills in an interview with The Sun.

- Robbie deserves it 100 percent. Not only for his enormous contribution to music, but also for successfully battling his own demons while in the spotlight. His honesty and courage should be appreciated. He is a true role model - Mills noted.
