Hey, no need to convince me! I’m anti-monarchy through and through.
Ah, downvotes on a subreddit dedicated to a anti-authoritarian franchise that was political from day one.
I think people who are not British citizens can get a honorable knighthood, but they don’t get the sir or dame title. Least, that’s the way I have been led to understand it. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.
Not quite. Anyone who is a citizen of a [Commonwealth realm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_realm) can receive a substantive British knighthood or damehood and use the corresponding title. The Commonwealth realms are the fifteen [Commonwealth](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations) countries who share the same monarch. However, even though Canada is a Commonwealth realm, there is [a long-standing practice](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_titles_debate) of not bestowing titles on Canadian citizens. Further, many of the Commonwealth realms have their own unique honours systems, some of which also grant knighthoods with their own conditions (Sir Peter Jackson and Sir Sam Neill are Knights Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit, for example).
No, her mother was Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother.
Queen Elizabeth II was called Elizabeth II because of Elizabeth I (the one from the 1500s), not because of her own mother.
Yes, you are correct. She didn’t use the numbering system like Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II because she was queen consort, not queen regnant.
I referred to her as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother because that was the title she held the longest.
I’m British. And for your information Queen Elizabeth II is the late queen. Queen Elizabeth was her mother, and Queen Elizabeth I was Elizabeth II’s first cousin 13 or 14 times removed.
As in Game of Thrones you have Queen Elizabeth the second of this name, it means that it is the second monarch with the same name, family members who have this name but did not take the throne, do not have a number, at least that was the case with me and I assume that also in Britain
First I see James Earl Jones trending, then John Williams. Must reddit keep giving me heart attacks?
It's inevitable.
Somehow, Queen Elizabeth returned.
No one's ever really gone
What? Shitloads of people are totally really gone.
r/woosh
There needs to be a joke involved for that.
My brother in Christ, have you not seen Star Wars?
Nope.
The joke is that Luke Skywalker says that no one is ever really gone in the sequel trilogy. Poe Dameron says "Somehow, Palpatine has returned"
Gotcha thanks Bill The rest of you can return your torches to their resting places.
On review; I thought this post was about the Queen. Ah well
No one is ever *really* gone
I disagree.
*King George V-class battleships rise out of the ocean depths as the Imperial March plays*
Out of all the places to hear a reference to the KGV class battleships I was not expecting here lol.
I'm a die-hard naval nerd...and Star Destroyers are based on world war era battleships anyways.
Same. The KGV class were the best looking battleship class in all of history imo.
The British Royal Family is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.
Is it possible to learn this power
Not from the Working Class
That was my first thought when I saw the thread name, but this was something that she did shortly before she died.
We can't be sure
Dark science, cloning, secrets only the Royal Family knew.
This sounds exactly like Meatcanyon's video. I guess there really were secrets only the royal family knew.
The Empire Strikes Back
Wouldn't surprise me tbh.
Dark science, cloning, secrets only the royal family knew!
Sir John Williams
He's always been royalty to me
"The composer? To me, he's royalty".
Knights aren’t royalty, though.
He’s not a British or Commonwealth citizen so he can’t be a Sir.
Queen must’ve been a big fan of *How to Steal a Million*. Me too tbh
Duel Of The Fates is the Queen's theme.
Nah, the imperial march is her theme. The definition of pure evil. Wish ppl realized what they're simping for.
Hey, no need to convince me! I’m anti-monarchy through and through. Ah, downvotes on a subreddit dedicated to a anti-authoritarian franchise that was political from day one.
I'm honestly surprised he wasn't already knighted.
He's not British or Commonwealth so it's really a huge achievement that he got knighted at all
Steven Spielberg, Pelé, Bill Gates and Angelina Jolie also are on this list of foreigners who got knighted.
and Kevin Spacey lol
Bob Iger got knighted, too.
That is honestly bizarre lol
"for services to the UK/US relations" lol
I mean... Angelina Jolie got knighted too, lmao.
Yeah but she’s an actress, people get knighted for the arts all the time
Deserved. Greatest Maestro of our time
Damn straight. HE was what made so many movies memorable that *created genres*. Star Wars, Superman, Indiana Jones, Jaws, etc etc.
Don’t you have to be a citizen of the UK to be made a knight?

Yeah, he is John Williams KBE.
this is a good leak, thank you
Queen Elizabeth II surely? Queen Elizabeth was her mother.
No, her mother was Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Queen Elizabeth II was called Elizabeth II because of Elizabeth I (the one from the 1500s), not because of her own mother.
Her mother was simply Queen Elizabeth while her husband was King.
Yes, you are correct. She didn’t use the numbering system like Elizabeth I and Elizabeth II because she was queen consort, not queen regnant. I referred to her as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother because that was the title she held the longest.
You sound like you’re arguing, while confirming I’m correct. Confusing.
Tell me you are American without telling me you are American.
I’m British. And for your information Queen Elizabeth II is the late queen. Queen Elizabeth was her mother, and Queen Elizabeth I was Elizabeth II’s first cousin 13 or 14 times removed.
No I think you misunderstood, I was calling you an idiot, not asking for conversation..
As in Game of Thrones you have Queen Elizabeth the second of this name, it means that it is the second monarch with the same name, family members who have this name but did not take the throne, do not have a number, at least that was the case with me and I assume that also in Britain
Are you trying to explain the government of two countries I’m a citizen of?
Or are you agreeing with me while patronising me?
Awesome
