Has the queen ever knighted someone outside the uk?

Question

who is it please

Answer 1

Yes, she has. She gave an honorary knighthood to Ronald Reagan, of all people! Thank God he's not allowed to use it!

Plenty of Australians have received knighthoods, such as Sir James Killen and Sir Paul Hasluck. Governors-general in Australia usually receive a knighthood.

If a knighthood is bestowed on someone who is not a member of the Commonwealth, they are not allowed to use the honorific 'Sir'.

One of the first people she knighted and was from outside the UK was the New Zealander [Sir] Edmond Hilary, the first person to climb Mt Everest.

Answer 10

Do you mean has she ever knighted a person who lived outside the U.K? or If she ever physically knighted someone outside the U.k?

Answer 11

Official knighthoods are only bestowed on subjects of the United Kingdom or other Commonwealth countries (such as Canada or Australia).  Since they aren't restricted to British citizens, there are dozens (if not hundreds) who have received such honors.

Those from other countries may be awarded honorary knighthoods.
