Robbie Williams Back in Contention for OBE After HMRC Clearance

10/25 @ 10:32am by Morten Nielsen

Robbie Williams could be in line for an OBE — or even a knighthood — in the King’s New Year Honours after HMRC reportedly cleared his tax affairs

The singer’s previous nomination was halted in 2019 amid scrutiny of his involvement in an Ingenious Media film investment scheme

His renewed prospects recognise extensive charitable work, including Soccer Aid, which he co-founded with Jonathan Wilkes in 2006

The football event has raised more than £137 million for UNICEF

Any honour must still pass several committees, the Prime Minister and ultimately the King.
