      Why am I getting flashbacks to the Black Knight scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail?

          Well, it cant be a true knighthood. To be truly knighted you have to be a citizen of the UK. The highest honor the queen can bestow on a non-UK person is the Knight of the British Empire, which is slightly different (i.e. You don't get the 'Sir' title).

                  Maybe if your British, but "William H. Gates III, Knight of the British Empire" sounds a heck of alot funnier.

                              One of teh news casts said something about "three little letters at the end of his name" which might mean Esq.

                              And with Mick Jagger getting knighted, I expect Ozzy to be next.
