Making Celebs Knights was among the most ridiculous thing GB ever did. It rendered something rare and special into a meaningless gesture of star worship. It was one of the first indicators that England was truly lost.

I agree. The ‘honor’ should have been reserved for military heroes, scientists in medicine and others of true accomplishments.

But as my keyword indicated - this 20th century habit was based on wealth earnings and also keeping Royalty relevant to modern trends.
