It's not really aristocracy, it's essentially the equivalent of the Medal of Freedom, for Jony Ive it's a civilian honour; David Beckham isn't an aristocrat either.
- bdowling 7y agoA fair point. It’s not a hereditary title, so it’s not the same thing. And yes, the U.S. gives out medals as well, but we don’t call the recipients knights or give them special appellations.
- foldr 7y agoLots of people get special appellations in the US. E.g. professors, doctors, priests, reverends.
