Michael wanted to get knighted by the Queen but she rejected it. Michael thought he was worthy of it for his contributions to the world, and decided to write tons of letters but, all of them were denied. It's a shame that Michael didn't get it. Artists like Paul McCartney and Elton John got awarded but not Michael who was friends with Princess Diana.

That’s the job of the ,Honours Committee! They then pass that on to the Prime Minister who passes it onto the Monarch. Paul McCartney and Elton John are both British, so eligible for a knighthood. Non-UK nationals can get an Honourary KBE knighthood which isn't the same thing. Spielberg got one. Michael's scandals would put pay to getting one.

Also that knighthood story comes from Bob Jones' debunked book after admitting under oath he does make things up. 🤦♂️

The peelers reacted swiftly! Think the crowd remained silent as you're meant to there. That guy was highly disrespectful - even pushed a 7 year old girl out of his way to do this.

Why is it headline news everywhere that old age was the cause of death when we have bigger tragedies happening in the world?

I get that it must be reported, but I got an alert for it, like seriously? Some pieces of news are talked about more than, say, deaths in First Nations communities, and the young girl killed for not wearing hijab “properly”

Some pieces of news are talked about more than, say, deaths in First Nations communities, and the young girl killed for not wearing hijab “properly” I got zero notifications and only saw it on the 6:30pm news here. Either you've subscribed to news alerts somewhere or it's your algorithm.

Luckily Prince Charles or should I say King Charles III is immense. Nothing but respect for him. His work on the Prince's Trust has changed thousands of lives for the better. Hope we have him for a long time. The boss of a friend of mine has connections to royal insiders and she has been informed that he'll abdicate within two years to further his alliance with the World Economic Forum and their Great Reset agenda. A bit weird being told that as I suspected that's what he would do. Time will tell.
