Leona Lewis and Myleene Klass receive honours from King Charles in investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle
X Factor winner Leona has been made an OBE for services to music and charity whilst presenter and singer Myleene has received an MBE for services to women's health, miscarriage awareness and charity.
Leona, 40, won the third series of The X Factor in 2006 and went on to achieve success with singles including Bleeding Love, Run and Better In Time.
The British singer-songwriter from Islington, north London, became a seven-time Brit award nominee and was nominated three times for a Grammy award.
She has also carried out charity work with a number of organisations including the Prince's Trust, the Teenage Cancer Trust and WWF.
Myleene, 47, has campaigned for paid bereavement leave to be extended to those who experience a miscarriage.
The mother of three suffered four miscarriages and has spoken openly about the psychological effects of baby loss on women.
She is an ambassador for the pregnancy and baby charity Tommy's and fronted the Bafta-nominated documentary Myleene Klass: Miscarriage And Me in 2021, in which she met women around the UK to hear their experiences.
Myleene has said she is 'so proud' of how far she had come and reflected on how she had battled back 'from a very dark place'.
Talking to the BBC earlier this year she said: 'When I think back to how all of this started, it all came from a very dark place, and I certainly didn't have it in mind to become a campaigner at the time.
'Anyone who has experienced baby loss will know how personal and difficult it is to vocalise this level of trauma.'
Myleene has championed changes to the Women's Health Strategy, advocating for earlier support for women rather than waiting until they have experienced three miscarriages.
Her efforts have focused on improving miscarriage care and raising awareness about the emotional and heartbreaking toll of baby loss.
The musician has used her platform to push for government reforms and has played a key role in ensuring baby loss is addressed as a critical health issue.
She added: 'If you suffered three heart attacks you wouldn't only be offered support after the third one and so it shouldn't be the same with baby loss'.
The former Hear'Say singer's work has been widely praised for its impact on breaking the silence around miscarriage and offering hope and support to other women.

Funeral of England cricket legend Syd Lawrence held in Bristol
The funeral of England cricket legend David 'Syd' Lawrence MBE is being held in Bristol today. The former fast bowler, who played for Gloucestershire as well as the national team, died aged 61 last month after being diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease in 2024. A service is being held at St Mary Redcliffe Church in the city, where family, close friends and former team-mates will gather to remember the cricketer who became a legend of the sport. The lasting legacy of a cricketing legend David 'Syd' Lawrence, was the first British-born black cricketer to represent England. He was a strapping fast bowler who was renowned for being one of the quickest on the county circuit, Lawrence began to establish himself in Tests and a five-for against the West Indies in 1991 helped England seal a series-levelling win at the Oval, with Desmond Haynes and Viv Richards among his haul. But Lawrence's career all but ended the following year as he badly fractured his kneecap after falling awkwardly when running into bowl on the final day of a Test against New Zealand in Wellington. His England days were immediately over aged 28 but he made a brief county comeback in 1997, playing four first-class games for Gloucestershire before hanging up his boots – 16 years after he first played professionally. Lawrence became a competitive bodybuilder following his retirement and he was also a nightclub owner in Bristol. After Lawrence detailed his experiences of racism during his playing career, Gloucestershire issued an unreserved apology in September 2021 and six months later he became the county's first black president. He was appointed an MBE in the King's Birthday Honours weeks before he died for his services to cricket.

Myleene Klass says investiture shows miscarriage care must be modernised
Myleene Klass has said the decision to honour her for campaigning on miscarriage sends a clear message that women's healthcare 'needs to move forward'. The musician and broadcaster, 47, was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) and received her medal from Charles at Windsor Castle on Wednesday for her work raising awareness and pushing for legal reform following multiple pregnancy losses. She told the PA news agency: 'The King himself has now acknowledged that miscarriage care and healthcare needs to move forward. 'We're actually in a position where we can change the law, and women can benefit from it.' Klass, who has spoken publicly about suffering four miscarriages, has led calls for improved support and policy change and has become one of the country's most vocal advocates for reform. She described the honour as recognition for 'the achievements of so many people that come together' to improve what she called a neglected area of women's health. 'When I was going through my own miscarriages, you feel so invisible – you just feel you need somebody to guide you out of it,' she said. 'There's so much negativity about miscarriage healthcare – women feel so lost, so dragged down by it all.' Klass, who rose to fame with the pop group Hear'Say before establishing a successful career as a classical musician, presenter and entrepreneur, said she never imagined her work would take her in this direction. 'I trained as a musician – I always thought that was the route the world would take me in. It's certainly diversified along the years,' she said. 'So many people want you to stay in your line, to box you in. 'But the beauty of how the world works is you can do many jobs – they all inform one another.' Former X-Factor singer Leona Lewis, 40, was made an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) for her music career and years of charity work on animal welfare and environmental causes. 'I've always been an ambassador for animals and a voice for the voiceless,' she said. 'To be recognised for music is amazing – but to be recognised for charitable work is so meaningful. 'Music is my life's work, but when you are given a platform, it's important that you use it to bring awareness, to use our voice for something bigger than ourselves.' The singer was joined by her husband, Dennis Jauch, and her father, Aural Josiah Lewis, at the ceremony. 'I just want to give back because I feel like I've been very blessed,' she added. Former health secretary Patricia Hewitt, 76, was also made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire for her services to public health and NHS reform. She said she was 'over the moon' to receive the honour and described it as a tribute to the thousands of people she had worked alongside throughout her career. 'I never expected to receive any honour at all, let alone one as significant as this,' she told PA. 'It means an enormous amount to me. 'When I heard the news, I felt it was a tribute, not just to me, but to the thousands of amazing people I've worked with over the years – not only in the NHS but also in social care.' Dame Patricia served as health secretary under Sir Tony Blair from 2005 to 2007 and oversaw major reforms, including the ban on smoking in public places, which became law in 2007. She said the smoke-free legislation was the most significant contribution of her political career. 'The smoke-free legislation that I helped steer through Parliament is absolutely the biggest thing I ever did for the health of the nation,' she said. 'It saved more lives than any of us expected. 'I remember the Chief Medical Officer coming to see me just nine months after it came into effect and saying we were already seeing fewer people dying from heart attacks because they were no longer breathing in second-hand smoke.' She added: 'It's one of those rare examples of a piece of legislation that changed both attitudes and behaviour – and did it very quickly.' Also recognised at the investiture were Sir Warren East, the former chief executive of Rolls-Royce, who was knighted for services to the economy and Net Zero aviation, and Sir Nick Gibb, the long-serving former Schools Minister, honoured for services to education. Other recipients included UK investment minister and former chief executive of cybersecurity company Darktrace, Baroness Poppy Gustafsson and Soma Sara, founder of the Everyone's Invited initiative, alongside high-profile figures in agriculture, Holocaust education and crop science.
