The Order consists of the Sovereign, Grand Master (Duke of Kent), 125 Knights and Dames Grand Cross, 375 Knights and Dames Commander and 1,750 Companions.

Angelina was invited as a recipient of an honour from the Order. She was awarded an honorary damehood in 2014 for services to UK foreign policy and her extensive work on the campaign to end sexual violence in warzones. 

It is granted by the Queen on the Prime Minister’s advice. The cathedral is the home of the Chapel of the Order of St Michael and St George, formally dedicated in 1906.  

Angelina was previously in a relationship with actor Brad Pitt, 52; they were married in August 2014 but began a relationship in 2005.

The Queen was forced to cancel her appearance at the service because she is said to be suffering from a summer cold.

A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: ‘The Queen is feeling under the weather today and has decided not to attend this morning’s service at St Paul’s Cathedral marking the 200th anniversary of the Order of St Michael and St George.’
