Cynthia Erivo was one of the stars honoured by Prine William this week, becoming Member of the Order of the British Empire on May 19.

The 39-year-old dropped in to a perfect curtsy as she accepted the honours at the Investiture Ceremony with the 43-year-old.

However, the 32-year-old musician noticeably maintained silence and did not congratulate her Wicked co-star for this major achievement.

Instead of a tribute post or Instagram story for her friend, the No Tears Left To Cry crooner re-shared videos to promote her beauty brand.

Previously, the Dracula star and the Bang Bang crooner made the headlines with their extremely close bond after sharing screen in Wicked franchise.

The British singer was spotted being extra protective of her co-star during promotional events of the Disney movie.

The singer is currently working on her upcoming album Petal which is scheduled to drop on July 31, 2026 with 12 tracks after her previous project Eternal Sunshine.

Is Ariana Grande going on a tour?

Ariana is also going to hit the road in support of her last studio record which will be her first since 2019 Sweetener World Tour.

Although much is not known about the boy is mine songmaker’s upcoming release or the tour, Zendaya’s stylist shared an update about being the costume designer for the artist.
