World No 1 darts player Luke Littler has been presented with an MBE by Prince William at Windsor Castle. The 19-year-old received the prestigious honor in recognition of his contribution to the sport after being named in the 2025 King's Birthday Honours List alongside fellow darts star Luke Humphries.

Littler, who made history as the youngest world champion at 17 years and 347 days, has dominated darts with back-to-back World Championship titles and six TV ranking titles in 2025. His remarkable achievements include winning the UK Open, World Matchplay, World Grand Prix, and successfully retaining the Sid Waddell Trophy in January.

The Warrington sensation's MBE follows a fairytale rise that began when he burst onto the scene at Alexandra Palace as a 16-year-old. 'The Nuke' currently leads the Premier League Darts standings with six nightly victories, demonstrating his continued dominance in the sport he has transformed through his unprecedented success.
