Stan Lee Wants Knighthood From The Queen

Marvel Comics legend Stan Lee has been appearing at the London Film & Comic Con this weekend. During a question and answer session, Lee revealed that if his mom were still alive that she would feel he was a failure, because she was sure that he would be President of the United States on day. Then, Lee asked the audience for their help on something while he was in London.

I have something for you to do. Oh, am I glad I thought of this. I want to bring back a present for my wife. My wife is English. And I was thinking, ‘What could I get her?’ And it occurred to me, and you can help. Are any of you friendly with the Queen?

“Well if you are, I think it would be nice if I were made a knight of the British Empire,” said Lee. “Because then I could go home and say to my wife, ‘You’re now a dame.’ And imagine how happy she would be. So right after this interview, get together, work it out, call her highness, and I’ll wait to hear from you.”
