2003: Mick became a Sir after being knighted by Prince Charles at Buckingham Palace. The Queen avoided personally giving Sir Mick Jagger his knighthood because she thought he was an inappropriate candidate for honour, it has been claimed. “The thing about honors is that you should never ask for them, and you should never really expect them, but I think you should accept them if they are given to you”, he said. Keith hated it: “I don’t want to step out onstage with someone wearing a coronet and sporting the old ermine”.
