Jackson was refused a knighthood

Michael Jackson reportedly pestered the Queen to make him a knight, but to no avail.

The Bad star's former PR man, Bob Jones, has spoken out about Jackson's ambition after he told him to beat it following 34 years of service.

The Sun quotes Jones as saying: "We spent a fortune trying to communicate with the Queen's people to try to get them to make him a knight. But they were not interested."

Sir Elton John and Sir Paul McCartney are amongst the music industry's legends to be knighted. According to Jones it was never clear why Jackson thought he deserved the honour.

Jones is currently writing a book about his time in employment for the star.

"According to Jones it was never clear why Jackson thought he deserved the honour."

Knights in White Satin?

With the Boy's Club of America?

I guess only "acceptable" poofters like Thir Elton can be so recognized.

I think he actually wanted to be queen in two countries, not just the US

Something seems wrong here. Shouldn't this read "Michael Jackson pestered a knight in the hood to make him his queen"?

Good thing his jury is not given the authority to knight the pervert. Things might turn around for Jacko now that he has promised not to sleep with boys.

On second thought... couldn't a beheading be carried out in the guise of a dubbing with a sword? Say, the Queen could have been violently sneezing at the time...

In the first place, these days, the Crown confers honors on the advice of the Prime Minister. I suspect that if Queen Elizabeth strongly wanted somebody to get a knighthood, a decoration, or whatever, Tony Blair would put him or her on the honors list, but in the normal course of events, it's his call. If they were lobbying Buckingham Palace, as this implies they were, they were probably lobbying the wrong people, especially because...

In the second place, I'm not naive about the politics that occasionally play a part in the British honors system, but am I the only one who finds the concept of "lobbying" for a knighthood ever so slightly tacky? I have to think Blair would. I'm almost certain the people at Buck House would.

You might be, but you are really on the right track.
I, on the other hand, find it majorly, purple-and-orange
tacky for him to lobby for a knighthood.

Now I might support him if he were to lobby for a hood
ORNAMENT.

In the above photo, Jackson wears the Golden Medal of Honour for Services to Vienna. Jackson is 46 and the award is only handed out to mainly architects, writers and artists who are over 50 years old and only about 1000 have been awarded since their inception in 1967.

From http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/entertainment/34842004.htm MICHAEL JACKSON has infuriated British Army veterans for wearing seven prestigious regimental badges during his child molestation trial. ... Regimental Secretary MAJOR RICHARD MILLS has been inundated with phone calls from furious soldiers, complaining about the THRILLER star wearing military symbols from the Royal Engineers, the Welsh Regiment, the Sherwood Foresters, the Wiltshire and Cheshire Regiments, the Royal Corps of Transport and the Royal Warwickshire Regiment among others.

From http://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime_file/story/290422p-248612c.html Jackson bought the badges and medals from Ivan Hiller, a Santa Monica, Calif., dealer who lists their prices as between $125 and $600. Hiller declined to say how many pieces Jackson bought, saying only, "Michael Jackson in the past was a good customer." M.C. Tsen, director of Coldstream House, a New Hampshire-based Internet business that sells antique British military uniforms, doubted Jackson understood the significance of the symbols. "He's just like a child who dresses up like a soldier," he said. "There's no reason to get upset about that."

There appears to be an enfatuation with British and European heraldry to Michael. No wonder the throne is hesitant to bequeath any recognition upon him.
