Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has been honored by the Queen of England, Elizabeth, with the highest chivalric title, ‘sir’.
It took him 14 years from leaving as Chief Executive to receive this senior title, and it is even thought that this delay could be related to the not-so-good relationship with the Queen during his 10-year rule.
Only one British Prime Minister, before Tony Blair had to wait long before receiving the highest cavalry title given by the Queen of England.
After 14 years since leaving in 2007, after winning three terms for the Labor Party, as no center-left leader in Britain, Blair will already have the title ‘Sir Tony Blair’ before his appointment.
The awarding of the title to Blair has been a topic of debate for years, with critics attacking him for his role in the Iraq war, while others hailed him for winning the war in Kosovo.
It is said that his strained relationship with the Queen during the reign which coincided with the accidental death of Princess Diana of Wales, the former wife of the Queen’s eldest son, Prince Charles, where Tony Blair called her the “Princess of the People”, may was the reason for the delay in granting this title, with the oldest of the Monarchy which dates back to 1348 in the time of King Edward III. The last British Prime Minister to take the title of Sir is John Major of the Conservatives.
Sir Tony Blair achieved a spectacular victory initially in 1997 by winning three consecutive terms and leaving in the middle of the third term to leave the place through a gentlemanly agreement, to his successor Gordon Brown.
Tony Blair remains a highly respected figure for Albanians both for the war in Kosovo and the assistance provided afterwards, for the consolidation of democracy in Albania and the Balkans.
