Does that mean a president could be knighted, as long as it's a queen or princess doing the knighting?

- cj 1y agoQuick googling on honorary knighthood: > [Honorary knighthoods] are a way for the UK to recognize the achievements of individuals who are not UK citizens. They are awarded on the advice of the UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and are conferred by the Crown. > In the US, accepting a title of nobility from a foreign state is prohibited without the consent of Congress. However, this prohibition is different from accepting an honorary knighthood, which is more of a recognition or award rather than a title of nobility.
- wl 1y ago"foreign State" still would seem to prohibit that.
