Davina McCall, Ian Wright and Ken Bruce are among the famous faces to be recognised in The King's first Birthday Honours list.
King Charles's birthday technically arrives in November, but by convention his "official" birthday is celebrated in June.
McCall - a fixture on TV screens for over two decades, including as host of Big Brother - is made an MBE for services to broadcasting, while former Radio 2 host Bruce also earns an MBE for his services to radio, charity and awareness of autism; his son has the condition.
Arsenal legend Wright, meanwhile, is upgraded from an MBE to an OBE for his services to football and charity.
Line of Duty star Vicky McClure becomes an MBE for her charity work, specifically in the area of dementia, having helped her grandmother through the disease.
Stephen Frears, director of The Queen, is given a knighthood, as are ex-BBC director-general Mark Thompson and Sky executive chairman Jeremy Darroch.
England cricketers Sam Curran and Adil Rashid are given MBEs, while two-time Cricket World Cup winner Lydia Greenway is bestowed with an OBE.
