I'm wondering if it's possible for someone who isn't from Britain to be knighted. Is knighting exclusive to British citizens, or can foreigners also receive this honor?

Foreign citizens have the opportunity to receive honorary knighthoods or damehoods.

These honors are bestowed through UK orders.

Receiving such an honor does not grant foreign citizens the title of dubbing.

In other words, they are not officially knighted or made dames.

Despite receiving the honor, foreign citizens are not expected to adopt the style 'Sir' or 'Dame'.
