Even though the “Killing Eve” and “Grey’s Anatomy” star was born in Canada, she also has American citizenship. Oh, 51, was seen joining the procession inside Westminster Abbey as part of Canada’s delegation to the queen’s state funeral.

She got the highly limited invitation to attend the historic event, watched by hundreds of millions around the world, because of her capacity as an officer of the Order of Canada.

The titles was bestowed on her in June for her “artistic career filled with memorable stage, television and film roles in Canada and abroad,” according to the Canadian governor general’s website.

Sandra Oh gratefully received the honor, which is the second-highest honor that can be awarded to a civilian in Canada. It is given to people who have used their talents to make extraordinary contributions to the country, especially on an international scale.

The official list of delegates was announced by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on September 15, ahead of the service, which took place on Monday, September 19.
