On December 19, His Majesty King Charles III honoured British film director Christopher Nolan and British film producer Emma Thomas with Knighthood and Damehood. In the Investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace, the couple were recognized for their exceptional impact on cinema, with their collaboration resulting in Oscar-winning films such as Interstellar, The Dark Knight trilogy and Oppenheimer.
The origins of knighthood are unclear, but are thought to date back to Roman times. Back in the medieval times, knights served as elite warriors, bound by a strict code of honour based on loyalty, bravery, and dignity. Over time, as the need for armed knights diminished, the title evolved into a purely ceremonial distinction, recognising exceptional service to the nation and society in various areas, such as science, art and public service.

19 dekabr kuni Qirol Charlz III Bukingem saroyida bo‘lib o‘tgan marosimda Britaniya kino arboblari, rejissyor Kristofer Nolan va prodyuser Emma Tomasni ritsarlik unvoni bilan taqdirladi. Ushbu juftlik kino san’atiga qo‘shgan ulkan hissalari, shu jumladan "Interstellar", "Betmen" trilogiyasi va bu yil 7 ta Oskar mukofotiga sazovor bo‘lgan "Oppengeymer" kabi filmlarni yaratganlari uchun taqdirlandilar.
Ritsarlikning kelib chiqishi aniq emas, ammo Rim davriga borib taqaladi deb taxmin qilinadi. O'rta asrlarda ritsarlar sadoqat, jasorat va qadriyatlarga asoslangan qat'iy sharaf kodeksiga rioya qiladigan alohida askarlar bo'lgan. Vaqt o‘tishi bilan qurolli ritsarlarga bo‘lgan ehtiyoj kamayib borar ekan, unvon ilm-fan va davlat xizmati kabi turli sohalarda millat va jamiyat oldidagi beqiyos xizmatni e’tirof etib, ramziy unvonga aylandi.
