It is now up to the honours committee who will send a shortlist of recommendations to the Prime Minister Keir Starmer and then King Charles to sign off.
Robbie is tied with The Beatles for the most UK No1 albums, with 15 chart-topping records, as well as seven No1 singles as a solo artist.
He is also responsible for creating Soccer Aid way back in 2006, which to date has raised £106million for Unicef, who he has been an ambassador for since 2000.
Robbie has been involved in 11 Comic Relief events and is a patron for Music Support — a charity helping people in the industry who are suffering from addiction or mental health issues.

Scott told Bizarre: 'I think Robbie should be knighted, 100 per cent. For his contribution for music alone.
'Let's not forget, he's the most decorated Brits winner in history. I think we should celebrate and acknowledge how much joy he has brought.
'He deserves it. Not only for his contribution to music, but also for fighting his demons in the public eye and coming out the other side.

'He is at the peak of his powers. He has his mojo back. He would admit that he lost it for a while but he's like his old self, just clean and sober.
'It's clear that it doesn't scare him right now.'
He added: 'I don't know why. I just think he's really comfortable in his skin. I really loved his film Better Man.
'I thought a lot of the reviews were really unfair. I got emotional and cried. I thought it was really clever and honest and I watched it three times.'

She said on Instagram: 'Stop asking me why it's not 'butter yellow.' It's not butter yellow because it's LEMON. Not butter. And butter yellow is played out…respectfully.'
Who knew shades of yellow could provoke such a reaction?

Well-backed Delacroix wins Coral-Eclipse thriller after ‘mind-blowing' ride from Ryan Moore
RYAN MOORE showed just why he is considered the best jockey on the planet with an epic winning ride on Delacroix in the Coral-Eclipse. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong during the race, but he somehow managed to run down the favourite Ombudsman in the final strides. Advertisement 1 Delacroix (right) wins a thriller in the Coral-Eclipse at Sandown Credit: PA And, judged by the deafening noise that erupted from the stands as he flew home for a last-gasp win, plenty of bets were landed in the process. Aidan O'Brien, who has just the eight Eclipse wins to his name, was just as dumbfounded as the rest of us as the well-punted 3-1 second favourite dramatically surged from nowhere to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. He said: 'I couldn't believe it, they went hard and then they steadied it, and then they went again. Ryan kept calm and came with one go at the leader, it was a masterful ride, it was mind-blowing. 'He said his plan changed about four times during the race, I thought he'd try to lead but it didn't work out and he ended up where he did. Advertisement 'You leave it up to him, he knows the horses, there is always a Plan A, B and C, I'd say that was Plan Z.' It was Plan Z because the original thought had been that Delacroix, who flopped as 2-1 favourite in the Derby last month, would try to grab the early lead in the six-runner field. But he ended up being shuffled back through the pack as French horse Sosie and outsider Hotazhell took it up, and the winner was running up a blind alleyway as they rounded the bend for home. And then, just as he was getting rolling, stablemate Camille Passarro nipped up on his outer and boxed him in, costing him precious momentum and room at a crucial point in the race. Advertisement Most read in Horse Racing Comment Exclusive Moore managed to angle him out, gather him together and unleash him with a sweeping run to catch 6-4 jolly Ombudsman was a ridiculously impressive win. It was the sort of escape act that would have made Harry Houdini proud. Moore said: 'He began OK, nobody really wanted to make the running and it was a bit messy. 'William (Buick) wanted the same position as me and he was on a bigger, stronger, older horse so I had to give way. Advertisement 'Ombudsman got first run on me but Delacroix is a very good horse with a mighty turn of foot, and he quickened up really well. 'It was a steadily run race for that class of horse, but his change of gear made the difference, it got him out of trouble. 'He was the only horse in the race who hadn't won a Group 1 but he has threatened to for a long time, he is a big, strong, beautiful horse so it is great to get this one.' Usually the master of understatement, that's about as effusive as Moore is going to get. This must be a good horse. Advertisement It was a brilliant race and the good news is he will likely meet Ombudsman again for round two at York in next month's Juddmonte International. That is very likely to be the runner-up's target as a philosophical John Gosden took the defeat on the chin. He said: 'I did warn people beforehand it could be a messy race and that's how it turned out, but he has run a brilliant race. 'We got caught a little bit wide and the winner has just come with one strong run and done us, but that's racing. Advertisement 'I don't think we were helped out by the tight gap between this race and the Prince Of Wales's at Ascot, it is only 17 days, so when you consider that he's run a great race.'

The real reason Cristiano Ronaldo was absent from Diogo Jota's funeral
Cristiano Ronaldo was notably absent from the funeral of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva on Saturday morning, as friends, family and teammates alike gathered to pay their respects. Diogo, who played as a winger for the club and for the Portugal national team, died in a tragic car crash alongside his brother André Silva in the Zamora region of Spain. They were only 28 and 25 years old, respectively. Teammates past and present, as well as other members of the football world, gathered to say their final goodbye's on Friday, with one familiar face failing to make an appearance. Cristiano Ronaldo was notably absent from the funeral of Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva on Saturday morning, as friends, family and teammates alike gathered to pay their respects. Pic: PA A solemn procession of Liverpool players and Portuguese national team-mates included the likes of Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson as well as Portugal stars Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva and Ruben Neves Portugal's captain Ronaldo however was not among the crowd of mourners, with the real reason for his absence now being revealed. According to reports from the Mirror, Ronaldo decided to keep away from the event, as he believed his high profile might overshadow the sombre affair. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Cristiano Ronaldo (@cristiano) The star instead took to social media to share a touching tribute to the late sportsman. He wrote: 'It doesn't make sense. We were just together in the national team, and you had just gotten married. 'To your family, your wife and your children, I send my condolences and wish them all the strength in the world. I know you will always be with them. Rest in peace, Diogo and Andre. We will all miss you.' Diogo just married his long term partner Rute Cardoso, with whom he shared three children, 10 days before the tragedy — with her arriving at the church early on Friday morning. It is understood that the Lamborghini that the pair were driving in suffered a tyre blowout while overtaking a car on the A52 highway in Zamora, which then caught fire. The pair were en route to Santander to catch a ferry back to the UK, after Mr Jota was advised against flying to the UK following minor surgery.
