| Description | "You won’t be able to call him Sir Richard, but he’ll still be a knight.
Former Sen. Richard Lugar (R-Ind.) has been given the rank of a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, or KBE, by the Queen Elizabeth II, his office announced Monday.
Lugar won’t carry the title “Sir” — that’s exclusive to subjects of the queen. Lugar joins former Sens. George Mitchell, Ted Kennedy and John Warner as senators-turned knights. Kennedy and Mitchell received the honor for their work ending the conflict in Northern Ireland, and Warner for his work strengthening ties between the American and British militaries." |
