Knight (honorary title)

An honorary Knight is a recognition awarded by a country, like the United Kingdom, to a non-citizen who has made significant contributions in areas such as arts, sciences, charity, or public service. While they receive the honor of being called a "Knight," they do not have the legal rights or responsibilities of a knight, such as the use of titles like "Sir." This distinction acknowledges their achievements and fosters international goodwill, without conferring the actual privileges associated with traditional knighthood.
