Sir Sadiq Khan Formally Receives His Knighthood From King Charles

  • In May 2024, Sir Sadiq Khan secured an unprecedented third term as Mayor of London and was formally honoured with a knighthood in a ceremony held at the royal residence by King Charles.
  • The knighthood followed recognition in the New Year Honours for Khan's political and public service, marking him as the first London mayor to receive this honor.
  • During the ceremony, Khan knelt as the King conferred knighthood upon him with a sword in a traditional investiture witnessed by his family, highlighting his rise from growing up in a council estate in south London.
  • Khan, 54, called the knighthood a deeply humbling experience and expressed hope that it encourages people to recognize the remarkable opportunities available in the capital.
  • The honor reinforces Khan's profile but drew criticism from Conservatives who called it a 'reward for failure' due to concerns about crime and housing in London.
