    Well, in UK the queen was used to make lords people that had great merit for the nation: Sir Sinclair for the quite popular zx spectrum and Sir Terry Prachett for amazing narrative, on turtle, universe he crafted.

    I don’t remember there was any requirements on political side (queen or parliament) to acknowledge people’s merit to the nation.
