pA MEDAL CITIZEN
Congratulations to Island Records UK boss Darcus Beese, who was last week made an OBE by the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, at a Buckingham Palace investiture ceremony. Darcus’s proud family - and trusty rimmed shades - came along for the occasion. The biggest surprise of the day? The Prince telling Darcus he is quite the fan of Taio ‘Dirty Picture’ Cruz. Dope.
