Marcus Rashford receives MBE from the Duke of Cambridge

In the first Investiture ceremony since the pandemic, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William honoured Marcus Rashford, the Manchester United and England football star who was recognised for his work to ensure children had access to food during the pandemic. Speaking to reporters after the ceremony, Rashford said: “There’s a lot of work to be done. We’re nowhere near where we want to be, or where we feel the kids deserve to be. We’ve just got to stick at it and keep going.” Rashford declared that he will give his MBE medal to his mother to thank her for all she did raising him and his three siblings. He shared on his Twitter account about William that it was “An honour to spend the morning with you. Thank you for making the day so special for me and mum. Very proud.” The Twitter handle of William and Kate shared his photo and said, “Keep continuing the vital work you are doing for vulnerable children across the UK.” It is imperative to note that Rashford had recently responded to news that a Welsh school plans to not feed children if they are over a penny in debt. According to ITV, the footballer has successfully campaigned to secure free meals for vulnerable children throughout the pandemic, recently receiving an MBE for his work. According to Royal Central, William also presented an MBE to Manvir Hothi for services to social care; an OBE to Alun-Wyn Jones for his services to Rugby Union in Wales
