Oops! Actress Sophie Okonedo picks up her OBE...off the floor
ACTRESS Sophie Okonedo was left with an etiquette problem yesterday when her OBE fell on Prince Charles’s foot during a Buckingham Palace investiture.
He had just attached the gong to a small hook pinned to her dress – but it stayed there only a few seconds before dropping off.

Ms Okonedo, 41, Oscar-nominated for 2004’s Hotel Rwanda, looked shocked, then embarrassed as Charles said: “I’ll pick that up for you.” But before he could, she knelt to retrieve the medal. “It feels good to get the OBE, but I dropped it on the floor,” she said later.
