Ted Kennedy a knight what was Queen Elizabeth thinking?

Ted Kennedy was never formally knighted by Queen Elizabeth II. However, there may have been speculation or discussions about his contributions to public service and philanthropy that could have led to such thoughts. Queen Elizabeth's consideration of knighthood typically reflects an individual's significant contributions to society, and Kennedy's legacy in American politics, particularly in healthcare and civil rights, could have merited consideration. Ultimately, any thoughts she may have had would remain speculative and private.
