Go boldly to the palace — and arise, Sir Patrick

Although PS is a fine actor, I find it completely SAD that the Crown gives knighthoods for 'playing' a part not 'being' a part. Originally, a knighthood was meant for the 'warrior class' who "protected the weak, defenseless, helpless, and fought for the general welfare of all"--a selfless act of protection.

I personally know an individual who saved the Queen's life and one of her immediate Royal family in separate incidents during a very difficult time for the Crown. This person was not given a knighthood, nor was the individual who assisted equally in one event--the Queen simply expected it. This individual's family was from England and had already given the Crown over 400 years of service prior to the offending event. The years of service to the Crown was the only thing mentioned to the warrior who saved her--she gave just a simple thank you. So completely WRONG. Such brushing aside of duty courageously performed yet promptly forgotten diminishes the a warrior who is worthy of a knighthood and makes knighthoods of today a complete farce.

I realize that today Knighthoods are given for 'service to society' because a true warrior class is no longer recognized by first world countries. The class has been wiped away by culturally organized armies of pawns. However, there remain clandestine warrior groups of brave men and women who continue to be used by governments with great verve. These 'tribes' remain undiluted by hype and openly unrecognized by our cultures. When a threat of such magnitude as mentioned above finds the Crown, the Queen should remember she is alive today because of them and the roots of Knighthood visited on the weak should be awarded to those who preserve it, not to actors who entertain her.

Sorry PS. You join Sting. I like your work, but it's not in the realm of duty and preservation to the Crown as should a knighthood represent. Hooray for the WARRIORS who live silently among us, unable to tell their heroic stories in a world controlled by propaganda and hidden government coos.

I wonder if he made the Queen tea, Earl Grey, hot.
