Dina Asher-Smith honored by King Charles
In March 2025, Asher-Smith was honoured with the Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) award. She collected her award from King Charles at Windsor Castle after taking a short break from her training in Texas. Through her interview with the Olympics, she shared her thoughts on receiving the prestigious honor. She expressed:
"For me, it is a very powerful emblem of what you do on the track, being inspiring to other people and also having repercussions and positive influence far beyond the world of sport."
She continued,
"It is about the power of hard work and it is nice to be celebrated for your great work. He (the King) was very much amazed that I flew over from Texas to get this but I said 'Of course, you invited me so I wasn't going to miss this and this is such an honour'."
The 29-year-old Asher-Smith has captured two medals each from the Commonwealth Games and the Commonwealth Youth Games. She is next set to participate in the 2025 Diamond League meeting in Stockholm on June 15.
