Quoting TACAA320 (Thread starter): I'm not an expert in this theme, but following a Royal tradition the spouse of somebody who received the title "Sir" from HRH The Queen is called "Lady".

No. The wife of a knight can be called "Lady" if she bears no higher title. The spouse of a knight is not accorded the courtesy. Nor is the husband of a Dame (female knight) allowed to be called "Sir" or even "Lady".

Well, according with the Press Office at Buckingham Palace they have such doubt [about Furnish's title]. A CNN journalist placed such question, and the answer was "We need to study the answer". I heard that this in the morning news.
[I'm not saying that what you said is not true. I'm just simply curious about this particular situation].

Wouldn't a queen be offended by being called a lady?

Quoting AeroWesty (Reply 11): Wouldn't a queen be offended by being called a lady?
I get it, but I doubt many here will.
There is a story about the present Queen Elizabeth when she was a little girl. She was with her grandmother, the very grand Queen Mary. Elizabeth was helped out of a car by a gentleman who said to her, "There you go young lady."
Elizabeth promptly corrected the man, "I am not a lady. I am a princess."
Queen Mary acidly remarked, "Yes, this is Princess Elizabeth and we hope that one day she will behave as a lady."

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=LADYLady Chiefly British. A general feminine title of nobility and other rank, specifically:
Used as the title for the wife or widow of a knight or baronet.
Used as a form of address for a marchioness, countess, viscountess, baroness, or baronetess.
Used as a form of address for the wife or widow of a baron.
Used as a courtesy title for the daughter of a duke, a marquis, or an earl.
Used as a courtesy title for the wife of a younger son of a duke or marquis.
"Used as the title for the wife or widow of a knight or baronet. "
I think fits here.

Do you remember Daffyd interviewing Elton?
Quote: DAFFYD: Right, any kids?
SIR ELTON: No.
DAFFYD: I often see you around and about with this chap David Furnish, is he one of your nephews?
SIR ELTON: No.
Daffyd writes in his notebook.
DAFFYD: Close friend. Okey dokey, now lets get on and talk about your work. Now when it comes to writing a song, Bernie Taupin, he writes the lyrics, and you add the music. Does it come quickly or do you find yourself staying up all night, bashing one out?
SIR ELTON: No I’ve always come quickly actually, yeah.
DAFFYD: Now, when you’re not writing or recording, you like to do light concerts don’t you?
SIR ELTON: Yes.
DAFFYD: Yes, in fact you’ve recently been playing in Las Vegas, do you enjoy filling Celine Dion’s slot?

Does anybody knows how or what one must do to become a British Crow Knight?
I mean, all Elton do is sing, take up the ass and wear horrible clothes, why is he worthy of beeing a Knight?

You gotta love that wig! Designed by Donatella Versace
25 Cfalk: I heard someone suggest that he should be called that, but just ponounce it "Laddie". :D
26 Jaysit: NEWS ALERT !!!! NEWS ALERT !!!! Elton John marries long time toy boy; no collapse of Western civilization reported.
27 Nordair: He isn't called SIR. It would be Sir Elton, or simply as Elton. He doesn't use it much. The Queen made him a knight upon the advice of Her Government
28 QANTASforever: Brilliant! As for the Civil-Union, are Canadians entitled to Knighthoods? QFF
29 TACAA320: Sound nice. I find it simply fugly. Looks like a bird of the Parrot Jungle.
31 Willo: I hope that Sir Elton donates that suit to the earthquake victims in Pakistan - there's enough material to make a tent for at least 6 people.
32 Kiwiandrew: he hasn't been thrown out in 12 years of queensized Elton John tantrums - can't imagine he will be now
33 Cornish: Isn't the Queen still head of state in Canada (despite the best efforts of those dastardly French Quebecoise )? I guess that means he can be....
34 Banco: Not necessarily. Not all countries where the Queen is Head of State allow their citizens knighthoods. Australia is a case in point.
35 Cornish: Ah but then no-one in their right mind would call an Australian Sir, thats what they say to us when they take our food or drink order
36 Banco: There's Sir Les Patterson. That seems about right, wouldn't you say?
37 Cornish: Exactly - we made the mistake once and realised it would be a bad idea to repeat the experience
38 Skidmarks: Lady David Furnish doesn't sound quite right does it? Andy and confused
39 Erikwilliam: HA-HA-HA very funny. Yes that´ll be nice.
40 Skidmarks: Dream on, son, dream on!!!!!!!!! Andy
41 QANTASforever: I wouldn't expect a knighthood any time soon with your manners. Actually you never made a mistake. Regal honours were always left to the Australian g
43 QANTASforever: BTW... Cornish: Nobody (and I mean NOBODY) badmouths Sir Les. QFF
44 Banco: Ahhhhh. Hook, line and sinker! I think Dame Edna has a bit of a problem with him. I mean, you never see them together, do you?
45 Manc: I think Elton is SIR Mon-Thurs and David SIR Thurs-Sun, everyones happy!
46 Cornish: Good god - what an awful thought What ?? Are you suggesting Dame Edna might be Sir Les in drag ?? Mine's being announced in the New Year, and Banco t
47 QANTASforever: Uh, yeah - absolutely. (Reads teleprompter) "I was completely sucked into what was going on, and blindly and without any sarcastic intent, parody, or
48 Cornish: Actually we were just seeing if you were still up down there. Far more effective than saying QFF are you awake? Spoken like a true legendary British
49 Banco: A fine piece of rhetoric. I' m not sure about the last line though. Maybe something about not giving up would scan better, don't you think?
50 QANTASforever: Yeah, it's like my very own bat-signal. Just insult Australia and I fly in. One thing I actually didn't mean to do was hijack the thread (seriously,
51 Cornish: Oh no - lets not. The gay marriage thing is SO yesterday's news. This is much more fun
52 QANTASforever: Are you...mad? It makes absolutely no sense. It's the ravings of a total lunatic. Yeah, it's always better to steer clear of paraphrasing Churchill -
53 Banco: Oh come now, you can be a bit extreme, but a total lunatic? I don't think I'd go quite that far. I feel a responsibility to encourage you, particular
54 Cornish: Yep - far better than talking about two old poofs getting married Thanks QFF - you can tell its my last day in the office before Xmas and I've got no
55 QANTASforever: No, not cruel. It feels that way sometimes on this forum. Kidding! Ugh, do I have to? Well alright then. Queen Elizabeth II is a credit to the nation
56 Cornish: Make the most of our national treasure QFF - it'll be Charles and Carthorse Camilla next
57 Gkirk: You know the UK is on a downhill slope when two blokes can marry each other I blame Tony Blair.
58 Cornish: Just because you're jealous you can't marry your four-legged woolly other half
63 Cornish: Of course The Sun wins headline of the day with their front cover proclaiming: Elton takes David up the Aisle
64 9VSPO: Yeah, pretty funny even for The Sun. They showed all the papers on this morning's tv but for some reason that one never got mentioned.
65 Banco: Good effort sir! I might challenge you to do this stuff more often.
66 9VSPO: Well someone's gotta look after all those convicts!
67 QANTASforever: You're absolutely right. Britain is where convicts come from afterall, so I can understand why she needs to spend so much time in the UK to supervise
68 Erikwilliam: yeah, man I had no idea how that would work, ehehehehe Horrible try man, horrryble. btw:skidmarks?!?!?!
