Damian Lewis will receive a CBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours for his charity work, according to reports.
The actor, who in 2014 was appointed an OBE for services to drama, is set to be awarded his latest gong next week.
The 51-year-old, whose wife, actress Helen McCrory died of cancer last year, has carried out work for several charities over the years.

A friend told The Sun: 'This is richly deserved for all the work Damian has done for so many people with so much done with little or no public fanfare.'
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Buckingham Palace for comment.
In 2010, the award-winning actor, whose credits include Band of Brothers, Homeland and Wolf Hall, became a trade justice ambassador for the charity Christian Aid.
Damian has also coincided his charity work with sport, playing for England in Soccer Aid and for Europe in golf's All-Star Cup.
