Grayson Perry has picked up his knighthood from Prince William dressed as his female alter-ego Claire
The sculptor and tapestry maker, 60, wore a red dress and a miniature straw boater to collect the gong from the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle on Wednesday.
He has previously praised the royals for what he sees as their liberal attitudes, saying that "they're very cool at the palace.""There is a line - I wouldn’t go dressed as a clown."This is not the first time Sir Grayson has collected an honour while dressed as a woman. Sir Grayson recently said that he had thought about refusing the knighthood, but his daughter Flo told him: "Don’t be a d***".Kate Garraway was also given an MBE on Wednesday, with her husband Derek Draper watching on.
