If it please our Sovereign to knight a man, it matters not at all that the USA has a Constitutional edict relating to titles. The person is knight of the BRITISH Empire/Commonwealth and while in one of our countries, is referred to by his title. The titles are not extended to them because they are American you know, all sorts of people get them, the Mayor of New York got one, and rightly so.

Robert A. Heinlein said it best. No democracy is safe with a popularly elected head of state, give me a King for true freedom.

We wish our US cousins well you know, but you really must keep out of our business until it interferes with yours.

To 39 and 78–As an American (Texan at that) I find it extremely mean spirited to use this honor to slam the idea of knighthood. No one who goes to a Star Trek comments page should sneer at heroes. Also to #82, speaking to #2–Seconded. Everything on earth doesn’t demand comment “as a Republican.”

#60….Do a bit more research before you start making observations about the Commonwealth. New Zealand PM John Key restored knighthoods soon after he came to power in 2008, and the NZ Governor-General has been giving them out ever since. The latest recipient was Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, whose knighthood received a lot of press. Papua New Guinea also gives out knighthoods on rare occasions. If Australian opposition leader Tony Abbott wins the next election, there’s every chance he will restore knighthoods as well. The man is a staunch constitutional monarchist, even more than former PM Howard.

Congratulations Sir Patrick Stewart!!!!
Some of us can remember your fine work before Star Trek. My personal favourites are your stunning performance as the evil Sejanus in I,Claudius, and your snooty French Maitre’d in LA Story. A truly gifted actor. Few actors have worked harder in their profession, or so tirelessly outside it, as you have done. Few actors would have sent themselves up so hilariously and so generously as you did in Extras. It always puzzled me that you had not been offered a knighthood before this.

As far as HRH being a trekkie – why not? She likes her Earl Grey as well.

Congratulations again, Sir Patrick and a very Happy New Year
