Eh, is that really necessary?

YESTERDAY, BUCKINGHAM PALACE confirmed that Prince Harry has received an honorary knighthood from his grandmother, the Queen.

Prince Harry was made a Knight Commander of the Victorian Royal Order and received the honour during a private ceremony round his nan’s house (read: Buckingham Palace) yesterday.

The news left people scratching their heads with many of the opinion that it seems a little unnecessary to knight an actual prince.

But mostly people just ripped the absolute piss out of him.

There were cries of nepotism.

Whoops!

As well as incredulity.

Prince Harry getting a knighthood? Is this another BBC test run for a story that hasn't really happened?

Other people’s nans began to pale in comparison.

After all, you’re supposed to be sound to your nan

How on Earth did Prince Harry get a knighthood for being good to his granny? You're supposed to be good to your granny anyway.
