 Years Before, Queen Elizabeth II refused to knight Mick Jagger

Like anything Mick Jagger does, the lead singer of The Rolling Stones would find some serious detractors when in 2003 he was put up for a knighthood. Sir Michael Philip Jagger had two main issues when receiving his honour; the first was Keith Richards and the second was Queen Elizabeth II herself.

After multiple nominations, Tony Blair finally achieved his dream of having Mick Jagger knighted in 2002.

It wasn’t just a grudge though, Richards didn’t think the two parties should intertwine. “It’s not what the Stones is about, is it?
