Knighthood is just an honour thing these days. It's to honour people who are either extremely popular in what they do or those that do tons of charities (which is why Bill Gates was knighted but can't officialy be called sir cuz he's not a British citizen). Christopher Lee apperantly got a CBE in 2001.
Christopher Lee's ancestors were apperantly very influencial in royal history and one of his ancestors is buried next to Raphael Sanzio.
