The English footballer, who made his debut for the national team in 2006, received an OBE from Prince William.
“When I received the letter with the royal seal on the back, I was a little shocked, but at the same time fascinated. “I felt extremely proud, especially when I saw that my contribution to Northern Irish football was being recognised,” said Evans.
During his career, Evans won the Premier League three times and the FA Super Cup four times, won the Football League Cup twice and won the Champions League, FA Cup and Club World Cup once each.
It was previously reported that Manchester United is the first team in the history of the Premier League to keep 500 clean sheets.
