Ed Sheeran to Be Honored with MBE Status - Here's What That Means

Ed Sheeran is just one of the many new stars being honored with an MBE.

The “Supermarket Flowers” musician reacted to the big news on Instagram, stating that he was “chuffed to be awarded an MBE for services to charity and music, thanks for all your lovely messages.”

Confused on what an MBE is? It’s short for “Member of the Order of the British Empire”.

The British honors are awarded at New Year’s and on the Queen’s official birthday in June.

All of the honorees are typically chosen by civil servant committees and this year, for this round, just over 1,100 people were on the list.

Congrats, Ed!
