Michael Sheen returned his OBE so he could air his views about the monarchy without being branded a "hypocrite".
The 51-year-old actor was awarded an OBE [Order of the British Empire] in the 2009 New Year Honours for his services to drama, but he later handed it back when he was researching the history of Wales - where he was born - for a lecture in 2017.
He said: "Raymond Williams famously wrote a piece called 'Who Speaks For Wales in 1971' - and I took that as my starting point for the lecture as in who speaks for Wales now.
