Fry also serves as Vice-President of Fauna and Flora International and supports the Terence Higgins Trust in its efforts to aid those living with HIV and AIDS. Calling the award “startling and enchanting,” Fry emphasized the importance of breaking stigmas surrounding mental illness and praised the growing societal focus on this critical issue.

Football legends Gareth Southgate and Gerald Davies were also knighted, joining a diverse roster of individuals recognized for their exceptional contributions to society.
