John Torode beamed with joy as he received an MBE for his services to food and charity on Thursday.
The celebrity chef, 57, was one of the many people who received honours at Buckingham Palace.
The MasterChef star rocked a suave ensemble for the occasion, including a navy blue morning suit and tails.
He looked over the moon as he received the honour from Prince William, with the two shaking hands and having a little chat.
John attended the ceremony with his wife, Lisa Faulkner, who looked incredibly proud of the chef.
The TV star appeared on This Morning in the late 90s and later went on to become a judge on MasterChef with Gregg Wallace in 2005.
He has also written a few cookbooks and appeared in John Torode's Australia, Korean Food Tour and John And Lisa's Weekend Kitchen.
John and his wife share five children together - Lisa's adopted daughter Billie, 16, and John's children Casper and Marselle, and teenagers, Jonah, 18, and Lulu, 16.
Meanwhile, Lisa and John recently celebrated their third wedding anniversary in October.
She shared an unseen throwback wedding picture declaring her love for her husband John, three years after they tied the knot.
The actress took to her Instagram page to look back at her wedding to the MasterChef judge in a sweet anniversary post.
She wrote: "Happy anniversary my @johntorodecooks … 3 wonderful years married to you. What a beautiful wedding. Have sat and looked at our wedding video and the happiness in everyone’s faces. You bring me so much joy. I love you so very much. Thank you for being my husband."
To which her man replied: "B****y love you my wife."
The former EastEnders star accompanied the post with a picture of her wearing a gorgeous figure-hugging satin bridal gown and clutching her man who is suitably stylish in a black suit.
The pair are snapped in the doorway of what appears to be a hotel lobby and are captured looking lovingly into each other's eyes.
The couple met when Lisa appeared on Celebrity MasterChef. Both were married to their former partners at the time, with Lisa divorcing her husband Chris Coghill in 2011.
