Jolie said that working on PVSI (Preventing Sexual Violence Initiative) and with survivors of rape was an honor in itself and she knew that succeeding in their goals will take a lifetime, and she was dedicated to it for all of mine.

 

Jolie won't be entitled to use her new royal title because she is not a British or Commonwealth citizen.
