He really is a role model.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nIt is now down the honours committee to decide if Robbie will be knighted as they send a shortlist of recommendations to be signed off by UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and King Charles.<\/p>\n<p>\nMeanwhile, Robbie confessed recently that he felt &#8220;anxious&#8221; about getting on stage for his Britpop Tour that got underway last month and explained that his wife Ayda Field had to calm him down in rehearsals.<\/p>\n<p>\nHe said: &#8220;I turned to my wife in rehearsals and said: &#8216;Babe, I\u2019m anxious about this.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;She said, &#8216;Rob, you behave like this is normal, you behave like you have to do this for the rest of your life, you behave like stadiums is where you should be.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Angels singer &#8211; who has children Teddy, 12, Charlie, 10, Coco, six, and four-year-old Beau with Ayda &#8211; explained that his &#8220;perception&#8221; of things was altered in that moment.<\/p>\n<p>\nRobbie said: &#8220;In that moment, my perception changed.<\/p>\n<p>\n&#8220;I might be in sniper\u2019s alley \u2014 but I believe I have got a lot longer on this runway to go.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cI look forward to getting even older with you and I look forward to seeing you at many shows to come, whatever size venue that is.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/royal_family\/robbie-williams-nominated-knighthood-music-charity-work-1421444.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4 July 2025 Robbie Williams is said to be have been nominated for a knighthood.
