Had to look up “Professional Panhandlers” and located this article on them.
Don’t think that they would be knighted, but sent to prison for defrauding more like it?
By The way here is link to those that REFUSED knighthood. Its not all that is cracked up to be.
Panhandlers would NOT be considered for Knighthood.
This Link is an article of those that refused Knighthood by the Queen.
