Marcus Rashford is a professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Manchester United and England national team.
The English international was reportedly presented the honour on Tuesday morning for his charity work during the coronavirus pandemic.
The Duke of Cambridge (Prince William) honoured Marcus Rashford with the MBE (Member of the Order of the British Empire).
The 24-year-old took his mum, Melanie Rashford, with him to the ceremony. They posed for photos outside in the gardens of the Queen's residence before the ceremony.
Rashford was recognised for services to vulnerable children in the UK during the pandemic.
Rashford started a campaign that helped feed 1.3 million of Britain's poorest kids over the summer holidays last year and prompted a change to the UK Government's policies on free school meals vouchers during lockdown.
