Emilia Clarke is made an MBE for co-founding brain injury charity with her mother after surviving two haemorrhages

Emilia Clarke has been made an MBE alongside her mother Jenny for their work establishing a brain injury charity.

The Game Of Thrones star, 37, beamed from ear to ear as she accepted her honours at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.  

Emily and her mother co-founded SameYou, a brain injury recovery charity they established after the actress survived two brain haemorrhages.

The first, a bleed on the brain, happened while she was working out in a north London gym in 2011.

She founded the charity after she was shocked to find out how understaffed rehabilitation services were.

Other people who will be recognised at the investiture ceremony include Labour MP Dame Siobhain McDonagh, for political and public service; director Betsy Gregory, for services to dance; and Lydia Otter, for services to people with autism and their families in Oxfordshire.
