It's now Sir Bob Iger

[Sir_Cliff]

Knighthoods are often 'rewards' for businesspeople, so this shouldn't be a huge shock given he spent so much time running the world's largest entertainment company that I am sure splashed a lot of money around the UK. I think this is probably more typical of who gets a knighthood than the Elton Johns we all focus on.

If you thought Bob was “humble” before, he’ll be insufferably so now.

Guess spending lots of money shooting tentpoles in England will get you a knighthood these days.

He’s close to being a billionaire. Money talks to become knighted?

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Relieved long dreary knights?....

…his social life is HiS business and we should stay out of it.

Now he’ll be insufferable at parties.

I thought Pooh in the park would be enough given the Queen's connection?

If Iger's a knight, does that make Chapek his squire?

And all the guests are serfs

At every party I’ve been to with him, he always tells the story about the one time he revolutionized the design of Radiator Springs Racers by suggesting they add more trees.

Now, it‘s going to be all “Did you ever get the chance to meet the Queen? Because I did. I am a Knight, you know.”

Does that make us peasants?

Actually he wouldn't have. There was no investure, as she died shortly after the list was updated. It'll be Charles (or maybe William) who will do the ceremonial part which actually confers it all.

Subjects that enrich him to near billionaire status.

Much deserved

I think he got it for all the movies Disney have made in the UK over the past few years. Steven Spielberg got one for making movies here as well. Not sure why John Williams got one, maybe because he works with British symphony orcestras?

Or maybe he got it for turning Prince Harry down when he tried to get his wife a job from Iger at the Lion King premier https://www.express.co.uk/news/roya...isney-bob-iger-latest-royal-family-news-video

if you aren’t a commonwealth citizen you can’t use your title or ‘get knighted’ with a sword you just get the medal. If you were a commonwealth citizen you get to call yourself sir, with a lady title for your wife and het other random privileges like the ability to get married in st pauls cathedral in London.

Actually, it’s a poorly-kept secret that the Queen and Iger regularly held late-night poker games in the basement of the Rose and Crown.

Yep, that's where we keep auntie

 

[Mickey5150]

As I understand it, non-British people are given "honorary" knighthood rather than "real" knighthood. Though I have to be honest, I don't know what the difference is since I think of knighthood as being an honorary thing anyway. Perhaps I'm just ignorant of the specifics.

If you want to joust you have to be a knight. At least that's what I learned from A Kinght's Tale.

After we pay the bill…
