It is usual for a Prime Minister to receive knighthood after their term in office. But Tony Blair was not awarded one because the Queen did not allow it. The reason was due to the way Tony Blair handled the arrangements for Diana’s funeral.
The result has been that subsequent Prime Ministers have also been denied a knighthood because a precedent has been set.
Is the Queen being unreasonable or did she make the right decision?
