Arise, Sir Jony. Ive presented with KBE by Princess Royal

by Kenny Hemphill on May 23, 2012

Apple’s senior VP of industrial design, Jonathan ‘Jony’ Ive, is now Sir Jonathan, following his investiture in front of the Princess Royal. Ive described the investiture as ‘really thrilling and particularly humbling.’

Ive, who was knighted in the New Year’s Honours List for services to design and enterprise revealed that he spoke to Princess Anne about the iPad.

In an interview with The Telegraph, he described himself as ‘the product of a very British design education.’ During the interview, Ive was asked what he’d like to be remembered for. ‘It’s a really tough one. A lot does come back to the fact that what we’re working on now feels like the most important and the best work we’ve done, and so it would be what we’re working on right now, which of course I can’t tell you about.’

    IIRC, it’s Jony, not Jonny.

    You do recall correctly, which is why we used that spelling in the story :-)
