The Burberry hat is almost synonymous with a kind of British white street thug called a "chav". That was chav-speak.
Well actually lots of charity workers and ordinary deserving people get honours every year, it is just that the profile of these appointments is not as high as the celebrities', and they don't get reported as widely.

Odd how it was bad for an Apple guy to go to JCPenney but good for a cologne woman to go to Apple.
Human being just like the rest of us.
She still puts her pants on one leg at a time and wipes her own butt.
Pretty sure Queen is at the top and commoner is at the bottom lol.
Princess generally becomes Duchess when she marries. Together with Queen they are royal titles afforded to members of the extended royal family only.
Lady and Dame are titles bestowed on commoners who've either done something good in business, the arts, charity work, or given a shed load of money to the political party in power.
Dame is lower. Generally you are afforded the title Lady if you marry someone who sits in the House of Lords (the upper house in the UK). So it's Lord and Lady so and so, so you don't actually get the title in your own right.
As a Dame I think you get a medal of some sort and a few letters after your name. Apart from that it's just a status thing or recognition or thanks for doing some good work. Bit like your Presidential Medal of Honour I guess.
The first part is correct. I believe someone in the Royal Household is employed to take care of the second.
GOOD! They all deserve it, I think famous people or millionaire business people that do a lot for charity deserve them too, don't get me wrong on that.
This was all announced on 1 January in the New Year's Honours List, btw.
Two honorary (ie non-British) women were en-dame-nified: Ahrendts (for business) and Melinda Gates ('international development and philanthropy').

Yeah, the least deserved knighthood. Have you ever used a Dyson? Good lord, they suck...
I had tried this before asking my question. This is confusing to me. In Cuba, it's easy, you have a dictator, his circle, and everyone else.

We just have many dictators, their circles and everyone else.
