A darts legend is born, and his name is Luke Humphries. This Newbury native has just been awarded an MBE, a prestigious honor, by none other than Prince William himself! But here's where it gets controversial...
Luke Humphries, a former world number one, has dominated the darts scene, winning the PDC World Darts Championship in 2024. His journey to the top was an inspiring one, and now, at just 30 years old, he's already claimed eight major titles, including the prestigious Premier League of Darts, a first for his career.
The Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) award recognizes his exceptional contributions to the sport. Humphries was presented with this honor at Windsor Castle, a moment he'll surely cherish forever.
But here's the twist: Humphries' reign at the top was nearly two years long, but in November, he was dethroned by a rival, Luke Littler. Despite this, Humphries remains a force to be reckoned with, and he's already gearing up for this year's World Championship, which kicks off at London's Alexandra Palace on Thursday.
Getty Images has captured the moment Humphries received his MBE, a testament to his hard work and dedication.
